Fictional State

I was not the problem like you were not the cause We're sinking on a ship we said we'd jump two weeks before And I'll admit my subsequent words had no force I had every intention just to leave you at the door My mundane future was tugging at my sleeve Of babies and changings and midnight feeds If every father in the world thought the same as me What a state, what a state, what a state... There's no hole in my head Accusation: I just ain't the family type Falling short and you've got better plans Escape artist and you just undermine It was causing an effect You said you'd kill it, you haven't yet Staring at a bed we shared as friends And you stop smoking just to try for a while While I provoke your nicotine habit, a habit Standing holding hands just as friends there's no love With no love this world would surely end The world's end is no place to start life, we'd start a trend And I could not forgive you for that What a state What a state... What a state Why don't you stay? There's no hole in my head Accusation: I just ain't the family type Falling short and you've got better plans Escape artist and you just undermine Your father tried to knock some sense into me He goes, "After all, a man is just a man" As I recall he thumped your mom bloody hardy and bloody hung Parenthood was a belt buckle to him What a state Why don't you stay? What a state Why don't you stay? What a state Why don't you stay? What a state Why don't you stay...oh... There's no hole in my head Accusation: I just ain't the family type Falling short and you've got better plans Escape artist and you just undermine There's no hole in my head Accusation: I just ain't the family type Falling short and you've got better plans Escape artist and you just undermine
