the macks (usa) - donnie 737 lyrics

he was older than me, but not the oldest
i clung to him like a raft at sea
but see he was always looking for the next thing
it was up to my little legs to keep up while we grew up in a dead sprint
reaching for the carrot
but still finding the stick
and he was beautiful and he was strong
the neighborhood kids feared him
he was like a dog backed into a corner
and he bit if you came near him
but he was my big brother
and he was my best friend
the rage within him and guilt within him
that dumb irish catholic trope
dad made him do choir and thе school band
instead of setting fires in trash cans
back thеn i did as he did
fought when he fought
and hit what he hit
but he slid
he just couldn’t handle being the new kid

new days old news new kids school shoes &
hallways new rules behave new girls &
i win, you lose new games new bruise &
breathe in cry out bite hands held out &
you binge i too begin to use &
old faith, new doubt old friends fall out &
my hands lose grip nice fall next trip &
so i’ve lost you free rides cost you &
i followed suit but i can’t
flush it or block or fight it
i’m getting off the ride &
we were paired at birth but now i learned

time, time will wait for no man
man, i stand all i+
can it really just be one big game of hide and seek?
i’m sick of finding him this way

time, time will wait for no man
man, i stand all i can
can you take my brother’s hand?
hand to god, he’s not that man
man, i stand all i can
can you repeat the plan?
plan for rain, no parade
raid his room, it’s where he lay

he said he needed a change
so he left his keys by the door
he left his wallet, his credit cards and everything
and they told me he was living in a park for about three weeks
he had dropped fifty pounds he didn’t eat
but when he emerged he said that he was ready for the stage
barely alive. proud of his method
i thought he just looked horrible
about a year later, there he was on the big screen
i just hope he’s happy
