Hobo Johnson

Sorry, My Dear

Have you heard the story of the guy who decided not to die?

He figured living was just easier than falling really high

His son heard about it later, thought, "Maybe that is why I'm enamored with the thought of seeing angels in the sky that are singing"

And they're singing, saying, "Everything's all right"

I haven't heard that on Earth, so

Maybe I will find a place to sleep

Just a comfortable place to lay my head

Please shoot me in the face, but, but first let me smoke your cigarette that's laced with fucking arsenic and mace

Just kill me in my sleep

Smother me with pillows and kindness, in which I have never seen

Please slit my perfect throat with the knife that I gave you

When I told you "I love you" in my home

Please stab me in the back, and twist it with the anger of every single time I made you mad

Have you heard...

The story of the guy who decided not to die?

He figured living was just easier than falling really high

His son heard about it later, said, "Yeah, that's why I'm enamored with the thought of seeing angels in the sky that are singing"

Boy, they're singing, saying, "Everything's all right"

I haven't heard that on Earth, so

Maybe I will find a place to sleep

Or just a comfortable place to lay my head

Part of being alive is wishing that you weren't sometimes

And as your brain forces you to breathe

It let's you indulge in such reluctancy

But what's more amazing than that is that you can do it and it won't fight back

Your brain will calmly cease to breathe

If you really wanna shoot it, or smash it into things

And if I don't feel better in the next ten years, then

Then sorry, my dear

And if I don't feel better in the next ten years, then

Then sorry, my dear

I'm okay, I'm okay, I feel a little bit sick

But it feels like a cough, or a cold, or a flu

But the only medicine feels like a bullet in my chest

But have you heard...

The story of the guy who decided not to die?

He figured living was just easier than falling really high

His son heard about it later, said, "Yeah, that is why I'm enamored with the thought of seeing angels in the sky"

And I know

That you bleed my own

And if you go

If you...
