Better Not Wake the Baby Songtext

von The Decemberists

Kick a hole in the hallway
While singing like a painted lady
Use your skull like a cannonball
But it better not wake the baby

How long will this go on?
How long, indeed?
You can bang a drum 'till the money's all gone
But it better not wake the baby

Make your moan of your lot in life
Split your mind half crazy
Gouge your eyes with a butter knife
But it better not wake the baby

How long will this go on?
How long, indeed?
You can bang a drum 'till the money's all gone
But it better not wake the baby

Drown yourself in crocodile tears
Curse the gods what made 'ye
Pine away for your better years
But it better not wake the baby

How long will this go on?
How long, indeed?
You can bang a drum 'till the money's all gone
But it better not wake the baby

How long will this go on?
How long, indeed?
You can bang a drum 'till the money's all gone
But it better not wake the baby
