The Runt

Chris Garneau
Lions close their cat eyes too
They sleep the same as lovers do
I don't know how I got here
But I know where I have to go
And I'm scared I'll wind up dead
Raccoon babes get left behind
Sometimes the runt's too small
For moms to care a little bit
For moms to care at all
But you, you kept the runt
You don't think he's scum
He's wasted in the morning
He's wasted in the afternoon
And he's wasted in the nighttime too
Why can't your heart grow like grass?
You don't get love and you don't get mad
I don't know how we got here
But I know where we have to go
And I'm scared we'll wind up dead
Lions close their cat eyes too
They sleep the same as lovers do
I don't know how I got here
But I know where I have to go
And I'm scared I'll wind up dead
You, you kept the runt
You don't think he's scum
He's wasted in the morning
He's wasted in the afternoon
And he's wasted in the nighttime too
You don't see this everyday
You don't see this everyday
You don't see this everyday
You don't see it everyday
You don't see it everyday
