Terrible Day
from Sipping Tea To Make Music To Sip Tea To by High-tails
lyrics
Walk your Chihuahua in the garden bed across from my house
You're gonna get wet but you don't mind
I see a little glitter in your eye
And I don't feel so bad when you don't cry
It's a terrible day, It's a terrible day
Stop, don't say that
You take a walk down through the inner webs
But I can live without my fishing net
I catch a lot of seedy looks instead
So go on pull your coat over my head
It's a terrible day, It's a terrible day
And every vague attempt that I had made
To spellcheck all the errors of my page
You always were the window to my pane
Your incredible way, your incredible way
When you try to make the sun appear above your sky
Compromise the space, the light, the sound of you dreaming
The sound of you leaving
And shining on into my grave
Did you come to resurrect or misbehave
Many are the numbers on my page
The second I arise, I will deflate
And I will see the looks on all your face
It's a terrible day, It's a terrible day
I can be the villain of the month
And I can take the cake or spike the punch
And I intend to rain on your parade
It's a terrible day, It's a terrible day
It's a terrible day, It's a terrible day
It's a terrible day, It's a terrible day
It's a terrible day, It's a terrible day
You're gonna get wet but you don't mind
I see a little glitter in your eye
And I don't feel so bad when you don't cry
It's a terrible day, It's a terrible day
Stop, don't say that
You take a walk down through the inner webs
But I can live without my fishing net
I catch a lot of seedy looks instead
So go on pull your coat over my head
It's a terrible day, It's a terrible day
And every vague attempt that I had made
To spellcheck all the errors of my page
You always were the window to my pane
Your incredible way, your incredible way
When you try to make the sun appear above your sky
Compromise the space, the light, the sound of you dreaming
The sound of you leaving
And shining on into my grave
Did you come to resurrect or misbehave
Many are the numbers on my page
The second I arise, I will deflate
And I will see the looks on all your face
It's a terrible day, It's a terrible day
I can be the villain of the month
And I can take the cake or spike the punch
And I intend to rain on your parade
It's a terrible day, It's a terrible day
It's a terrible day, It's a terrible day
It's a terrible day, It's a terrible day
It's a terrible day, It's a terrible day
