The Decemberists - Better Not Wake The Baby lyrics

Kick a hole in the hallway While singing like a painted lady Use your skull like a cannonball But it better not wake the baby How long will this go on? How long, indeed? You can bang a drum 'till the money's all gone But it better not wake the baby Make your moan of your lot in life Split your mind half crazy Gouge your eyes with a bu*ter knife But it better not wake the baby How long will this go on? How long, indeed? You can bang a drum 'till the money's all gone But it better not wake the baby Drown yourself in crocodile tears Curse the gods what made 'ye Pine away for your better years But it better not wake the baby How long will this go on? How long, indeed? You can bang a drum 'till the money's all gone But it better not wake the baby How long will this go on? How long, indeed? You can bang a drum 'till the money's all gone But it better not wake the baby
