Cold War Kids - We Used To Vacation lyrics

rate me

I kissed the kids at noon

then stumbled out the room

I caught a cab

ran up a tab

on 7th and flower

best recital I had to ruin

missed my son's graduation

punched the Nickles boy

for taking his seat

gets all that anger from me

still things could be much worse

natural disasters on the evening news

still things could be much worse

we still got our health

my paycheck in the mail

I promised to my wife and children

I'd never touch another drink

as long as I live

but even then

it sounds so soothing

this will blow over in time

this will all blow over in time

I'm just an honest man

provide for me and mine

I give a check to tax deductable

charity organizations

two *weeks* paid vacation won't heal the damage done

I need another one

still things could be much worse

natural disasters on the evening news

still things could be much worse

we still got our health

my paycheck in the mail

I promised to my wife and children

I'd never touch another drink

as long as I live

but even then

it sounds so soothing

to mix a *gin*

and sink into oblivion

I promised to my wife and children

that accident

left everyone a little shook up

but at the meetings

I felt so empty

this will blow over in time

this will all blow over in time
