Vacation in Chicago - Live - Cold War Kids

Kiss the kids at noon,

then stumble out the room

I caught a cab

ran up a tab on 7th and Flower

Best recital I had to run

missed my son's graduation

punched the Nichols boy for taking his seat

he gets all that anger from me.

Still thing could be much worse,

natural disaters on the evening news.

Still things could be much worse

we still got our health

my paycheck in the mail.

I promised to my wife and children

I 'd never touch another drink aslong as I lived,

but even then,

it sounds so soothing.

This will blow over in time.

This will all blow over in time.

I'm just an honest man,

provide for me and mine.

I give a cheque to tax deductable charity organisations.

Two weeks paid vaction won't heal the damage done,

I need another one.

Still things could be much worse,

natural disaters on the evening news.

Still things could be much worse,

we still got our health,

my paycheck in the mail.

I promised to my wife and children,

I'd never touch another drink as long as I lived,

but even then, it sounds so soothing to mix a gin

and sink into oblivion.

I promised to my wife and children,

that accident left everyone a little sup.

But at the meetings I felt so empty.

This will blow over in time.

This will all blow over in time.
