Okkervil River - My Bad Days lyrics

Dear Mother, we all got bad days And I know you'll understand Where we open up a foreign door With a pair of foreign hands Where we find ourselves alone at the foot Of a pair of foreign stairs Dear Mother, you know how our bad days Can catch you unawares, and catch us unawares Dear Mother, we all got bad days And I know that you'll agree With a bottle that's filled up with Vicodin And a child looks just like me And a cellar that's as dark as winter's cold With a hole in the stone cold wall And a child like me who's hiding A child who can't hear your call There's a string that runs through our bad days If you pull that string real tight The days all crumple together And all that you see is night And the doorknob becomes your enemy And the window, see through a haze Dear Mother, I wish you could stand inside And see all my bad days My bad days Well, my bad days all got together And they stood in a row for me And I plunged deep into the row And I couldn't hear and I couldn't see And I came out after thousands came And thousands pa**ed away Now I stand all alone at the foot of the stairs And I wait for more bad days There's a string that runs through our bad days And if you pull that string real tight Days all crumple together And all that you see is night And the doorknob becomes your enemy And the window, see through a haze Dear Mother, I wish you could stand inside And see all my bad days My bad days
