The Napkin Song Songtext
von Thin White Rope

Out eating burgers in a friend′s car
Each paper napkin has a happy star
Deep in the trash can they begin to sing
"Swee what a life of innocence brings"
These things don't make me sad today


There comes a time when everyone′s plans
Fall like a dog from a truckbed grandstand
Fall like a red snow on the freeway
"I could have done all these things," he said
"And maybe I could have loved you
But I'll pretned I'm above it now."

Night bugs come through the window crawling
Dead man′s shirts in the closet calling
"Why didn′t you write before I died?"
I would've-but I don′t know what to say
To my best friend
