lyrics

All the pictures in their frames
The one where daddy got his raise
I wonder if he knew then
That we would throw it all away
The one where mama got saved
She called it her birthday
Here she is at the piano
That we sold yesterday

Do you remember the early days?
When we'd just drive
'Til four in the morning
We were always running out of time
We'd watch for cops trying to hide
And for garage-sale signs
We bought this king-size bed
To dethrone my first wife

This is not just some furniture
It's the smell of her purse
It's the water in our eyes
When we say "Our father"

This ashtray is not for sale
It's from that night at the motel
When I pissed the bed
Cause I outdrank myself
And we didn't want the maids
To see what kind of mess I made
So we poured a cup of coffee
All over the stain

This is not just some furniture
It's the smell of her purse
It's the water in our eyes
When we say "Our father"

Something just died
Something deep down inside
Everything is dirty now
That you talked down the price

This is not just some furniture
It's the smell of her purse
It's the water in our eyes
When we say "Our father
Who art in heaven"
Sometimes I hope that
You're not watchin'
