A Thousand Little Downers

Lyrics

The radio says We gotta pay up by tonight The radio says We gotta pay up by tonight It's a constant dribble, a weeping sore Death by a thousand little downers I hear them all spilling out on the floor Death by a thousand little downers The operator says Our call is important Yeah, the operator says Our call is important Well they'll find me swinging from the menu tree Death by a thousand little downers And then I'll go play with the ghosts in the machine Death by a thousand little downers The co-sleeper says May cause death or injury The disclaimer says May cause death or injury Thanks for letting us know of the danger A thousand little downers But why bring the fear to the simple pleasures? A thousand little downers When you're poorly I'll bring you flowers and grapes, flowers and grapes When you're poorly I'd eat them myself Just one more little downer The vacant lot says Excellent retail opportunity The vacant lot says Excellent retail opportunity But I can't help thinking of those broken dreams Death by a thousand little downers Her hand on his shoulder as he stares at the screen Death by a thousand little downers I'll show you mine If you show me yours I'll show you mine If you show me yours I'll show you mine If you show me yours I'll show you mine If you show me yours I'll show you mine
