50's Dad

try to dress like a man

pressed

ready

heads on the wall

think of your father's eye

and hang your head

never know what to say when

bad days come again

stretched

pressed

he breathes like a dog

stretched

pressed

heads on the wall

boxed up, faces down

your family looks from the landing

bad days come again, after all

five minutes standing

the first thing you said

i don't know what we'll do

what can we do
