Laurie

When I looked out the window
They're all laid our on the grass
Propt up on their elbows
Basking like cats
He was in the middle
Holding court, talking with his hands
Smoking like a chimney
Stackin' up the cans
And I think he only phones me
When he's full of drink

What if he suddenly gets run over
Before I get over myself?
What if he accidentally
Has a baby with somebody else?

I often wonder if you'd come to my funeral
If you'd be stood grief-stricken
In a suit and tie
A morbid thought I know, but
Wish I could see it all
From the comfort of a coffin
But do I really have to die to see if you'd cry

What if he suddenly gets run over
Before I get over myself?
What if he accidentally
Has a baby with somebody else?

And I would see him soften
His laughter lines would deepen
He'll quit the booze and cigarettes
And she would be the reason
Said he's no good at love, but
I'll know he's wrong because I watch him, I

What if he suddenly gets run over
Before I get over myself?
And what if he accidentally
Has a baby with somebody else?
