The kids get drunk, the kids get sad 
they start telling stories that they didn't even know they had. 
And me? I always leave early so this is just what I hear. 
The kids in the back are just up in arms 
that saying the same thing won't get 'em any new reaction. 
And we just need to stop now 
and change our rhythms to match up again. 
I keep getting all of your letters and they just look good in print
That guy from work - he is a friend of mine. 
He likes the 5/8 time he likes a 5th a night, it makes him feel alright. 
And I'd choose murder over heart attack. 
I can't take the news, I can't face the fact that 
this is all that I've really even ever had. 
It's easier to just swim under the bridge 
than to stand right up and walk over it. 
Then I rolled over and looked straight up 
and saw there was no bridge
and that water dried right up. 
So I think we need to stop now
and change our rhythms to match up again.
