Jesca Hoop - DNR lyrics

Artist: Jesca Hoop

album: The House That Jack Built


Winter's dark morning woke my dad
The diabetic didn't feel his feet step out of bed
The truck filled with TV dinners
Needing delivering round town
They would drive behind the paper boy
Throwin' them headlines out
And no antidepressant of sort
Could change the weather report
When the wind chill factor
Was high he took the whole bottle down
He's got his paperwork now
DNR, DNR, DNR, DNR, DNR, DNR
Jesus wants me for a sunbeam
He raised his kids up right
But being raised in the light of Christ
Adds insult to injury that night
When the mail order brides
And the phone sex and his negligence became real
The wall covered in spit
How's it to make your teenage daughters feel
He called his flame that never died
She could hear something weren't right
Now we've got one more failed attempt at a suicide
Keep it right by your side, DNR, DNR
By no heroic measure, restart, restart his heart
A lonely heart was the black hole that did him in
From the first attempt to his current critical condition
Now were talking over who will take the dog
If he's gonna make it through again
And were taking turns tell him the stories
Of the good times worth remembering
And then my sister asked were we prayin' for him to pass
And no one dared speak out loud but we all knew
And pushed the paperwork through, DNR, DNR
By no heroic measure, restart, restart his heart
