lyrics
The coffee is ready
But you’ll have to fix it
Pause the comedy
I don’t want to miss it
Cause I need a laugh
Even just for a second
To distract my mind
From useless depression
Your brother is coming home
He wasn’t convicted
Who can blame him for
Causing some mischief
We’ve all been kids
And it’s part of living
Just always keep
A life full of learning
Dog on the balcony
Is looking suspicious
Knock on the owners door
Ask if they’ll miss him
Take him home
A bowl in the kitchen
It still gets cold
Here in the winter
Denied everytime
From heavens admission
But if there’s a god out there
I don’t think I’ll miss them
It’s not my home
I was evicted
From the pearly gates
Cause I am a sinner
