lyrics

I miss the candles in your head and all your teeth
All the wayward strands of hair lost down inside your sink
It’s the little things that I’ve forgotten or ignored
Not the funny feeling that your live my be a chore
That comes back when I get bored

I miss the carpet you get born on everyday
Lonely colored patterns and those silent little stains
It’s the little things that I’ve forgotten or ignored
Not the utter vacancy in your eyes when you knew for sure
That you had gotten bored

Fall asleep on a bed of sheep
Girl you know I won’t make a peep
All the kids down on Feral St.
Are either dead or full of meat
Wish my ma had said to my dad,
“kill the boy, then chop him up”
if they had maybe now they’d be on a boat
getting high, maybe smoking dope

It’s the little things that I’d forgotten or ignored
Not the blanket vacant seeds from your eyes into your pores
Oh it’s the little things I’d forgotten or ignored
Not the oil spill in the gulf
Or the Vietnam war
