Will Oldham - LET'S START A FAMILY lyrics

saturday and we sleep late

usually we're up by eight

a swim it calls, a swim awaits

no work to do today

strange how you would stray

and drink and such odd things

this is what the city brings

(doo-doo-doo)

evening calls and old folks fall

the phone is ringing down the hall

i told my friends not to call

that you were getting well

you still refuse to tell

where you'd been out so long

coming home at dawn

(doo-doo-doo)

lately I'm forgotten here

isolated, feeling queer

when you were looking in the mirror

did you see the future's lies

they march right on in time

and straight into the pool

oh so quick and cool
