The radio says
We gotta pay up by tonight
The radio says
We gotta pay up by tonight
It's a constant dribble, a weeping sore
Death by a thousand little downers
I hear them all spilling out on the floor
Death by a thousand little downers
The operator says
Our call is important
The operator says
Our call is important
Well, they'll find me swinging from the menu tree
Death by a thousand little downers
And then I'll go play with the ghosts in the machine
Death by a thousand little downers
The co-sleeper says
May cause death or injury
The disclaimer says
May cause death or injury
But thanks for letting us know of the danger
Death by a thousand little downers
But why bring the fear to the simple pleasures?
A thousand little downers
When you're poorly
I'll bring you flowers and grapes
Flowers and grapes
When you're poorly
And eat them myself
Just one more little downer
The vacant lot says
Excellent retail opportunity
The vacant lot says
Excellent retail opportunity
But I can't help thinking of those broken dreams
Death by a thousand little downers
Her hand on his shoulder as he stares at the screen
Death by a thousand little downers
A thousand little downers
I'll show you mine
If you show me yours
I'll show you mine
If you show me yours
I'll show you mine
If you show me yours
I'll show you mine
If you show me yours
Show me yours
