Ben Folds Five - Eddie Walker lyrics

rate me

Won't you smile you look so shocked

put the nametag on your smock

we've come to see you,

Eddie Walker

We may pack a little tight

the girl up front says

it's alright

and look there's more of us

still getting off the bus

we wish you'd come back home with us

Eddie Walker,

this is your life

This one's you when you were small

you're learning how to walk

they'd pick you up

and you keep falling down

there you are with Aunt Louise

you're bouncing on her knees

remember all those trees behind the garden?

their gone, they all got cut down

when she died

CHORUS

Eddie Walker, this is your life

you never had a son or a wife

you sure had a hell of a time

Eddie Walker, this is your life

This one's you and Mary Jo

well she couldn't come

she says hello

no, Eddie Walker

she doesn't hate your guts

it's just the whole thing's

shook her up

how they picked you up

and you kept falling down

Eddie Walker, this is your life

CHORUS

Eddie Walker, this is your life

you never had a coat or a tie

you never had a reason to cry

woah no no no no oh no

This whole stack and all of these

are your semester overseas

we're gonna leave you

Eddie Walker
