The Phantom Limbs - Shut Up Old Man

SHUT UP OLD MAN

i was reading my book at the door
at the door with your dog
just trying to keep it in
old man came up and said
"don't let her out"
i said " i know but..."
he said "don't let her out"

then the old man grabbed the leash
let the dog out on the porch
he held on to me for a second
just to get his balance
i put my book down, kept the place with a
fold-up chair on the ground
and the old man was telling me to secure it.
it might get blown away or something.
you better hold on to that

he sang:

you can hold the beacon for awhile,
but we'd better get sighted
you can hold the beacon for awhile,
but we'd better get sighted

my little sister sat on the ground,
getting her knee bandaged
she said, " i know that song. i hate that song.
i hate it."

you can hold the beacon for awhile,
but we'd better get sighted
you can hold the beacon for awhile,
but we'd better get sighted

"tell him to shut up. tell that old man to shut the
hell up. i know that song. i hate that song.
tell him to shut up. tell that old man to shut the
hell up. i know that song. i hate that song.
i hate it."
i know that song. i hate that fucking song.
i know that song.
