Mrs.  Carver says  she's sorry
She  knows enough  to worry
But  what does she know about crime?
Believes  the town  is sinking
The  price of forward  thinking
You  stay up all night half the time
Racking  your mind
Alone  at night
While  all the neighbors sleep  tight
Years  ago she lost  her daughter
Off  to a sacred  order
Where  they get stoned and work the earth
Clears  up her head  with bourbon
Cause  beer is so  suburban
And  declasse for what it's worth
She  drinks it down  down down
For  all of the old  old days
She's  thinking of it now
 It's nice  to get away
 But what a fine  day for a parade
She  stays up mending  curtains
Until  her fingers  hurt, and
You  can get so bored of it all
No  one can say  for certain
She'll  never safely  know when
An  asteroid will kill us all
 x2)
She  drinks it down  down down
For  all of the old  old days
She's  thinking of it now
 It's nice  to get away
 But what a fine  day for a parade  (repeat and fade)
