lyrics

Hey son, could you please just call me back?
It's important, I need to talk to you.
'Cause I've just been kicked out of our house and I'm a little drunk:
can you pick me up?
'Cause you know, don't you? That your mother, oh, she drinks too.
Yeah, we both hid the truth when unfaithful was too big a word for you.

Hey son, have you learned to say this back:
"Oh I miss you, think we should talk soon?"
Or, to pull from your eye a convenient tear
at a funeral mass, in a wake line?
Still, it's hard to see if there was any other choice for me.
Yes I know, in this tree it's hard to feel any kind of fleeting empathy.
And I'm sorry that you don't,
and I sure know you won't, once you've grown up.
