It was late one night, I was counting out my stitches

Laying by the side of the road

I was a long time gone, slipping off my britches

Feeling like it's time to go home

Glowered at the foot of my bed

When I woke next day, layered in the lashings
D             G
Feeling for the hole in my head

I was thinking 'bout my dad, thinking 'bout the nashings
  D               G

Verse:
    G
Well it came to pass that everything had ended

The world was just a grubby balloon

And I spoke up, said "Sorry if I've offended"
   D                G
This voice came from the back of the room
