Louden Swain - Uncle Bob lyrics

Grab a wife And get a job There's no time left for Uncle Bob He's read all the papers and started to doze Start looking for something to put up his nose Dreaming with the lights left on Knee-deep in a little fun She says he'll never be the one lying on the leather alone You lost your knife You lost your gun Let it go No obsession Grief comes in phases and then it goes Tomorrow's another day and maybe, who knows? Dreaming with the lights left on Knee-deep in a little fun She says you'll never be the one lying on the leather alone Either you sink or maybe you drown You fired your shrink, he was way too downtown Water is rising over your head You live like you've wasted, then you're dead Then you're dead And then last Sunday The phone rang twice A shaky receiver and the voice was tight She said: "You better get down here. Daddy is dead. Facedown in his couch, no one there to lift his head." Dreaming with the lights left on Knee-deep in a little fun She says you'll never be the one lying on the leather alone
