Sally came home today Didn't have a whole lot to say Just thumbed the St. Jude around her neck Took a drag off her cigarette Gary's still stuck at work Spilled a green juice on his shirt Steps outside for a little air Half listens to whoever's standing near
Half a glass of wine and half a cigarette Half the truth and see how far you get For all of that struggle and all of that strife And your consolation prize
Half life (half life)
Sally gets herself into bed Takes half a pill to quiet her head Watches little TV And drifts off in a half a sleep ♪ Half a husband Half a car Going half the distance Not getting very far Half mother, half wife And your consolation prize Half life (half life) Gary gets home after dark Sits a while with his car in park Just day-dreaming Smoking a little green Half the time a dad Half the time at work Half the time worrying Exactly what a soul is worth For all that struggle And all of that strife Your consolation prize Half life Half-baked plans and Half-hearted dreams Half the time wondering exactly what it means You hurry going nowhere Time cuts you like a knife And your consolation prize Oh, half life (Half life) ♪ (Half life) Sally came home today
