Laurie

When I looked out the window, they're all laid on the grass
Propped up on their elbows, basking like cats
He was in the middle, holding court, talking with his hands
Smoking like a chimney, stacking 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 tiе
A morbid thought, I know, but I wish I could see it all
From the comfort of the coffin
But do I really havе to die to see if you 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 will see him soften
His laughter lines will deepen
He'll quit the booze and cigarettes
And she'll be the reason
Said he's no good at love, but
I'll know he's wrong because I'll watch him
I'll watch

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