Lyrics

Half Empty

By the way, you're up to forty-six today

Facial lines

I see the sag, I see the weight your shoulders have

It's a telltale sign

"Five good years left", the stretch marks say

"Five good years left", the stretch marks say

I've lost the urge and found the loss of sex and love

And the madness finds

His makeup runs, the perfect part in the perfect play

Dropped the perfect line

"Five good years lеft", the stretch marks say

"Five good yеars left", the stretch marks say

I'd rest my case and hang my head

His frame is rigged and rain erodes his sandstone frame

And his duct-tape life

"Five good years left", the stretch marks say

"Five good years left", the stretch marks say

I'd rest my case and hang my head

But I can't get out of my bed to save me

I'd rest my case and hang my head

But I can't get out of my bed to save me

By the way, you're up to ninety-six today
