casey dienel - fat old man lyrics
you moved off to seattle
and go down to the bar every day.
this morning you woke up in the park,
wearing only a tiny straw hat.
got a mad dog with a bad leg,
and a comb full of rotten teeth.
but the days get longer,
you don’t get any younger and n-bodies calling for you.
keep moving on.
you chew on aspirin like m&m’s,
anything to dull the pain.
but the doctor says ‘it’s nothing a little courage wouldn’t fix’.
so they put you up on morphine,
and they strap you to the bed,
sayin’ ‘darlin, it’s just a bad dream it will all be over soon,
keep moving on’.
oh, n-body, n-body feels like fightin
you’ve unplugged all the phone lines,
and changed the locks on the doors.
you’ve been wearing suits and collared shirts,
and you’ve changed your name to carlos.
you take up with a lady, the kind that wears perfume,
and she likes the sound of your name when it is followed after hers.
keep moving on.
and she tells you there’s a child,
and he’s three months along.
she’s been dying to tell you cause she thinks he’ll have your nose.
you call her up the next day, it was saint valentines
and you wanna know ‘bout the hometown and see if it would stand
and it kept moving on.
cause n-body, n-body feels like fightin’.
the le calire boy died in a fire,
the town gathered at the harbors ledge.
and sure enough when the flames died down, the boat had all been sunk
the next day the sea was quiet.
the tide came in and moved out.
that’s just one way of saying, nothing changes when you’re gone,
it keeps moving on.
