The Sun Turns Our Patio Into A Lifeless Hell

(album: Pretty Music For Pretty People - 2014)

I slapped a child across the mouth today
It wanted to go outside, to go outside and play
But the sun turns our patio into a lifeless hell
Yes, the sun turns our patio into a lifeless hell

I lost my job at the financial firm
Did nothing wrong no, it was just my turn
Can't afford a fancy awning to block the sun's rays
I watch my neighbors shake their heads and say

That the sun turns our patio into a lifeless hell
The sun turns our patio into a lifeless hell

I found my wife curled up into a ball
Crying her eyes out in our shower stall
In my dreams we gather on the patio once more
Everything is pleasant, our fortunes have been restored

Hey look, there's grandpa, he's alive again
My wife still talks to me and we still have our friends

But the sun turns our patio into a lifeless hell
The sun turns our patio into a lifeless hell
The sun turns our patio into a lifeless hell
The sun turns our patio into a lifeless hell
