Ya Ain't Crazy Henny Penny

Eddy got drunk on top of town hall with his old man

When they threw their bottles down on main street they made a beautiful sound

And Jim curled up in a ball and he started to weep

He was still sobbing when I left him and hugging his knees

And all the dogs were running wild, picking through the trash

They knew that something was wrong just not what yet

We looked for your kid sister all over town

And when she didn't turn up I asked "you wanna move on"¦"

Or wait around.

Went by my parents place but they weren't in

So we laid down on the bed and slept for a bit

There were flies in the kitchen and rats in the hall

An empty box of bullets on the counter and their car was gone

There was a note on the fridge in my Father's hand

It said: Son, you know we love ya, but we just couldn't stand

To wait around

I went down to the cellar and found a bottle of wine

It was older than me and tasted like turpentine

In the dust on the bottle you traced the letters of your name

Stared at it awhile then you wiped it away

Then you asked me to dance so I took you in my arms

You sang "Strangers in the Night" as we swayed back and forth

Then you kissed me on the cheek and you whispered in my ear:

"It's better to dance without music, then to just sit and stare

And wait around

God's up in Heaven and the Devil's underground

Ya ain't crazy Henny Penny the sky's falling down
