Memories come down and me once again | |
Caught without an umbrella | |
Memories come down and me once again | |
Caught without an umbrella | |
Well it was not -that he was particularly | |
Suicidal he just didn't care wether he lived or died though | |
It was just a matter of time | |
You got yours and i got mine | |
When he turned sixteen | |
They said he could drive | |
When he turned eighteen they said he could die | |
When he turned twenty one he could buy rum | |
But no one ever taught him | |
How things were done | |
Then an angel appeared inside his head | |
She said boy do you think | |
You're realty better off dead | |
He don't know he just shook his heed | |
(chorus) | |
'cause he thought the day that he died | |
Would be a normal day for the people on the other side | |
He thought that the day that he died | |
Would be a normal day for the people on the other side | |
But memories come down and me once again | |
Caught without an umbrella | |
But time was a matter of velocity | |
In this age of information and technology | |
He would cry in the shower | |
Put his face in a towel hot from the dryer | |
Then he sat down and wrote a note to his mom | |
When all is said and done | |
Can i still be your son | |
Because manhood is so elusive | |
And respect is so exclusive | |
And i got a daddy to prove it | |
I think i'll never get to shake it and move | |
Then he tied a rope around his neck | |
Looked in the mirror and said what the heck | |
I'm gonna bring the whole roof down with me | |
And then he jumped | |
(chorus) | |
'come in vernon' | |
But halt way down | |
He heard what the angel said | |
And he realized -he really didn't want to be dead | |
He landed with a thump- his head was reeling | |
Layin in a lump- looked up at the ceiling | |
And saw that the rope... had broke | |
Well he failed at the only thing | |
That he thought he couldn't fail at | |
That was takin' his own life | |
And he said' i kinda like livin' | |
He could feel his heart makin a boom | |
Sounded like music in the next room | |
Music in the next room | |
He said 'it's time for a celebration' | |
Felt his hands looked at his face | |
Lifted the rope off his throat, 'i ain't such a disgrace.' | |
He said manhood is so elusive and respect is so exclusive | |
And i gotta daddy to prove, that some people never get to | |
Shake it and move. | |
(chorus) | |
And he knew that the day that he tried | |
Was not a normal day for the people | |
And memories come down and me once again | |
Am caught without an umbrella |
