uncle bonsai - doug at his mom's lyrics

doug leaves his bride to be on early sunday morning
to take the train to spend the holidays at home
doug takes his briefcase and a bag of dirty laundry
he takes her photograph
so he won’t have to be alone

doug reads the paper as he rumbles through the country
he sleeps and dreams about the girl he left behind
she packed a sandwich should he happen to get hungry
she packed potato chips
so he’d enjoy the trip

doug, doug on a mission
doug, doug on his own
doug, doug on a visit
doug, doug going home

doug sees the future as the train pulls in the station
a friendly smile from the family chevrolet
doug greets his father with a sense of trepidation
they take the long way back
they hit the cul+de+sac
doug, doug prays in silence
doug, doug plays the p+wn
doug, doug sees the driveway
doug, doug sees the lawn
doug wipes his forehead
doug, doug dries his palms
doug, doug at the doorway
doug, doug at his moms

doug’s uncle sid comes out
to pinch a cheek and bend an ear
come set the table doug
his mother yells for all to hear
go find a tie to wear and
why don’t you cut your hair and
so tell us douglas will you ever find a real career
doug’s father shakes his head
and talks of girls instead

doug greets the guest
and takes their coats up to his parents room
doug checks the pockets
then he goes back to the dining room
the door bell rings and then
doug checks some coats again
doug tries to smile
in the face of such impending doom
doug sees his fall from grace
in every cousin’s face
doug, doug starts to feel the heat as
doug, doug counts the chairs
doug, doug knows the children have
to eat their food downstairs
doug, doug sees his mother’s smile
doug, doug walks the lonely mile

doug, doug hears the grown+ups
doug, doug passes time
doug, doug wants cloth napkins
doug, doug wants some wine
doug reads his placemat
doug, doug feels so calm
doug, doug in the bas+m+nt
doug, doug at his moms

doug leaves his family and rides his ways to freedom
he’ll feel the safety for at least another year
doug knows his fiance is happy just to greet him
she knows his work is done
he’s such a faithful son

doug, doug feels religious
doug, doug is alive
doug, doug is ambitious
doug, doug will survive
doug lets his hair down
doug, doug on his own
doug, doug on the rebound
doug, doug coming home
