Errands

he came by the day before the party with watery eyes
and I asked myself
what were the odds he'd be there
and I knew
he must have had some powerful excuse
an errand to run
or else I wouldn't be seeing him at all

thank the bank
thank the couches
thank the fact he hasn't retired yet
thank the bank
for the privilege
of an errand to run run run run

I came by to tell him that in his view I would probably die
I tore out his heart
what other choice did I have?
I was tied by circumstances I did not create
I wished I could stay
but that was a card I had no strength to play

damn the park
damn the sunshine
damn myself for making such a mess of this
damn the park
innocent though it is
for being the place where I had to run run run

I hold by the hope the rift will close before he or I die
but I tell myself
the odds of that happening are slim
yes I know
I haven't got a weapon to use
to tear down the wall
without errands I wouldn't be seeing him at all

thank the bank
thank the couches
thank the fact he hasn't retired yet
thank the bank
for the privilege
of an errand to run run run run
