Family of Six

I'd like to think that I could have a deer in sight And pull the trigger Oh, what a time to be alive, yeah What a time to cross my fingers And what if Arizona Was right next to the ocean? What if I wasn't a bitch? If a mountain was a canyon If I was a mechanic And a gaslight was something I fixed Remember when they told you It gets better when you're older Well, for now, I still feel like a kid 'Cause if you never showed me Bambi I could breathe instead of panic I'd provide for a family six (a family of) I'd like to think I could have fought in Vietnam If I was told to Cross my heart I swear to God I hope to die I'll tell the whole truth If it's cold on the equator I was never motivated by all this guilt If the Arctic is a hot tub And arson is the right stuff To mend every bridge that I've built Oh, you just gotta believe me If I tell you anything I haven't told a lie(In a really long time!) Last night I started crying In the kitchen I was eating I'm an overly sensitive guy And I think Well, It doesn't really matter what I think Throw the whole thing at it Throw the kitchen sink Never mind, I take it back I was just kidding And I swear Man, I'm sorry, I forget where I was going there Where the hell we go next? I don't even care But if they ain't splitting checks I ain't eating there I'm scared to think I'll end up making up my mind And learn the hard way That everything comes with a price Every decision starts a new thing If hell is freezing over There's a devil On my shoulder in an anorak jacket Said, "The sun and stars and moon Are all revolving around you If you wanna eat a cake and have it" As sure as changing seasons There's an angel labeled reason Drawing lines in the sand Said, "Whatever you decide Won't really impact our survival Close your eyes, and do the best that you can Do the best that you can"
