Sugar City Magic Lyrics by Bound Stems

The Family Afloat

0

Do you recall the best years of your life? Well we try, well we try, well we try. Every man has a past, and she now seems content because she's moving to London to be with her kids...
When you were away, I started over again. (When you were away, I started over again!) Well, I'll worry about what my father's going to say when he comes home from work. I can take it--
--take it in a Midwest town with the family intact. We went to Catholic school, the military brats. We stayed outside all night with our loafers all scuffed; the loosened-up ties, the neighborhood toughs. We weren't alone much, and Sundays were hell, but if we made it back from church my brother promised to tell. He said, "Boy, how could you say it? How could you say it?"
Say it, say it! Say it:
Bop bop bop bop ba, bop bop bop bop ba--
She tells me that show now believes it's a matter of principle. Now the neighborhood's gone she can't change them. She said, "I can see!" She said, "I can see all the empty lots..." She kept her married name when he left, for the children's sake
My friends still gather around the block! With their loosened ties and their guilty faces! On our bikes we were skeleton thin. My father came to shake my hand: "Take care of the family. I'll explain when you're an older man. I've been found out now."
--tap tap tap tap tap tap tapping on the window for a space on the floor: "You can stay where papa just left; there's a spot on the fireplace mat. Welcome to our home."
"Welcome to our home, please excuse the mess--"
"...But they left it like that last night." Bop bop bop bop ba...
I've been keeping this family afloat for years
We lie asleep in our homes. The evening train goes by, I pull the covers up close. We can hide all night. We lie asleep. In our homes the evening train goes by. I pull the covers up. Close, we can hide all night. We lie! Asleep in our homes, the evening, train goes, goes by. Covers up close, we could hide all! All night asleep in our homes, the evening train ghost goes by, covers up, we can hide all. All night the evening train goes by...
