PEACH MARTINE - Sleepy People lyrics

Artist: PEACH MARTINE

album: Sleepy People


Husband and wife were married
Underneath the steeple of the church in the town they were born
On the way home from the American Cathedral
The wife tore her wedding gown on a thorn
Husband bent down
For he had brought a thread and needle
For exactly this purpose I'm sure
He showed he could sew
The wife then knocked a little beetle of the suit
He had only once worn
They were sleepy people for the rest of their lives
When they think of this time, oh, they laugh then they cry
And I kinda know why
♪
Husband went on to get a good job
As a banker in a cubicle from nine-to-five
Dreamed of the day he'd be moved to the corner office
Where he could work in a room with sunlight
Five years along, their son was born with ten good fingers
He grew up watching his parents survive
Boy didn't belong
But he decided just to linger to observe his parents staying alive
He watched the sleepy people waste the rest of their lives
Thinking only of the memories on which they rely
To bring them any delight
And the boy was 45 before he realized
That he's just waiting to die
