POE - That Day lyrics

hairpined curve in the road

she's got a run in her stocking

and she's missing the heel of her shoe

Got up this morning rolled out of bed

I spilled a diet coke

called my mother said,"Hi."

What I meant to say was," Why's your life a joke?"

Then I went down to that ugly bar

and I clicked my heels three times just like you said

and I climbed that road to your empty house

the anticipation was a turn on-

but you let me down

cause I stood on that empty stoop alone

I said,"I'm ready for my close up now Mr. Demille."

I waited for the light but it never shown

Well I wonder what you'll do

with that expensive piece of land

that overlooks a billion years of history

I have a sneaking suspicion you will never understand

Hey maybe I'll see you down by the rocky and bullwinkle

and we can talk to that Charlatan psychic

and she can paint a prettier picture

of your future

It's that day

in my life

that day

in my life

I dreamt tomorrow had a prettier face

I dreamt tomorrow would have better things to say

than,"You look like shit. What's your problem bitch?

Your legs feel like sandpaper you can't do anything right"

Cuz that day never should have taken place

This day in my life

Still cannot explain

why I listened in the first place

to you

Oh yeah something else

I hope one you call up your father

and you have the guts to tell him how he hurt you

and how he made you hurt another

cause it makes me sad
