Cheap Shades Songtext
von Chris Staples

Mom went into labor in the middle of the night
Had my dad worried but I came out right
And his cold hand trembled as he cut the chord
And he drove us both home in a beat up ford
But nobody asked me
Nobody asked me

They sprinkle water on my baby head
And made some claims about the dead
Repeated words the ancients said
They drink some wine, they broke some bread
But nobody asked me
Nobody asked me


The morning sun is going to wake me
Herb from the garden going to bake me
No fast talker going to take me anymore

I used to be a sharp young thing
Had a bell waiting for a ring
She was just a stop along my way
An umbrella for my rainy day
But I lace my boots
I pour a glass a wine
I turn the day over in my mind
Was I just a stop along her way
Some cheap shades for a sunny day

The morning sun is going to wake me
Herb from the garden going to bake me
No fast talker going to take me anymore
