Big D And The Kids Table

(he never minded - he never cared - he walks with his shirt off - he walks and we stare dont laugh, dont mock, dont snicker dont point, hes happy to be alive hes happy thats the point) (well i think that) theyre all called charlie yet probably not, theyre always sweating buckets, skins beating red hot, well its like do you think youll make it home ok, because step after step youll be digging your grave theyre good they got it they know what they need lifes better for them for them i see, they ignore what they hate and keep what they like, this time im going to do it right - see him, in a store walking down the aisle, on his face a great big smile cant be certain move from side to side, celebrating living is his passion and his pride out of control, asleep at the wheel, daves got a friend and his name is neil [chorus] (manchester, singing beach, 2:00) a beached whale he tries to flip over now, cant, move, sand, what, tries to thrash around while the tide starts to move in, god i hope charlie swims now a red bellies floating around, all the kids are jumping off him on the beach theres a crowd, he doesnt mind in fact i think i see a smile, fatmans playing all the while, thinking of the time when he thought that no one cared, celebrating apathy controlled yet unaware, wondering if people thought that he was dumb and slow, maybe i dont know, but i dont think so, slip n slide out on the lawn so sad those days are gone, grass stains on all of his clothes, got yelled at by his mom - well im fine now you wonder why now i always had my self respect never had a single doubt, never let your words cut through me, through me, its those words that took his laughter, its those words that took his pride,
its those words that left you helpless all alone you wonder why [repeat] [chorus]
