Gary’s Song (Live)

Gary tell me why the leaves on the trees
Are fall this year as early as the spring
Why the leaves of the trees that are falling on us
Are like the words to a song that I've waited my whole life to sing

If you swim too much you'll drown
If you swim too much you'll drown
And the shame of my life is watching you, Gary
[chuckles]

If we sit here and drink some more beer
We'll be too inflatable dolls in a hooker's bad dream
When the storm reaches us we'll be two blind drunks
Who've absorbed through their skin a whole lifetime kerosene

If you drink too much you'll drown
Yeah, if you drink too much you'll drown
And the shame of my life is watching you, Gary

I think we wore out our welcome
They're waiting for us to leave, Gary
They got a new kind of person
A newer, stronger, cleaner breed

Everything collapses in
Slo-o-ow motion
And the roots of the dance and the stain in my pants
Are beyond only small man's conception

If you drink too much you'll drown
If you drink too much you'll drown
And the shame of my life is watching you drown
