Heart Attacks Lyrics

It’s time I should be leaving, it’s time for me to go
A painting on my ceiling and your footprints in the snow
They found you Christmas morning beneath the tree in the front yard
The sounds, the screams, the mourning as we send sympathy cards

Hydrocodone acid washed
Brain a shame, a total loss
They said that they did all they could
That boy's been dead since childhood
Leave me alone to analyze
The sour power of surprise
Your ticker out of time and whack
Too young to die of heart attacks

I guess I should be going, there’s nothing I can say
To keep your dad from throwing up at least three times a day
The found you Christmas morning beneath the tree in the back yard
The pounding of your mother’s fists while freezing in the car

Oxycodone acid washed
Brain a shame, a total loss
They said that they did all they could
That boy's been dead since childhood
Leave me alone to analyze
The sour power of surprise
Your ticker out of time and whack
Too young to die of heart attacks

I'd kill for a drink (Fix me a drink)
Casket to carry
Try not to think (Try not to think)
About you dead and buried

Hydrocodone acid washed
Brain a shame, a total loss
They said that they did all they could
That boy's been dead since childhood
Leave me alone to analyze
The sour power of surprise
Your ticker out of time and whack
Too young to die of heart attack

Because the lyric edit won't work:

It’s time I should be leaving, it’s time for me to go A painting on my ceiling and your footprints in the snow They found you Christmas morning beneath the tree in the front yard The sound, the screams, the mourning As we send sympathy cards

Hydrocodone acid-washed brain A shame, a total loss They said that they did all they could That boy's been dead since childhood Leave me alone to analyze The sour power of surprise A ticker out of time and whack Too young to die of heart attacks

I guess I should be going, there’s nothing I can say To keep your dad from throwing up at least 3 times a day They found you Christmas morning beneath the tree in the backyard The pounding of your mother’s fist while freezing in the car

Oxycodone acid-washed brain A shame, a total loss They said that they did all they could That boy's been dead since childhood Leave me alone to analyze The sour power of surprise A ticker out of time and whack Too young to die of heart attacks

I’d kill for a drink (Fetch me a drink) Casket to carry Try not to think (Try not to think) About you dead and buried

Hydrocodone acid-washed brain A shame, a total loss They said that they did all they could That boy's been dead since childhood Leave me alone to analyze The sour power of surprise A ticker out of time and whack Too young to die of heart attacks
