Padraic My Prince Lyrics - Letting Off The Happiness - Bright Eyes

I had a brother once 

He drowned in a bathtub 

Before he had ever learned 

How to talk 

And I don't know what his name was 

But my mother does I heard her say it once 

 

"Padriac, my prince, I have all but died 

From the sheer weight of my shame 

You cried but no one came 

And the water filled your tiny lungs 

Appear, my dear and cry for me 

It's six years ago today 

That I laid you in your grave 

Your sweet young skin was shining then too" 

 

So tonight to celebrate 

I will, I will poison myself 

Another coughing, shaking fit 

In a bathroom that is spinning 

 

And I close the door 

And I rest my head on the tile floor 

Sickness and sleep turning me cold 

And I am still not sure 

Is there some better place 

I could be heading towards 

Where the selfishly sick and self absorbed 

Are welcome? 

 

I saw the future once 

I was drunk in a phone booth 

My eyes were wet and red 

But I could not tell what was said 

And through the screams of the traffic 

Voices carried saying, "I am sorry" 

 

On a day so gray, it's black inside 

Watching churches on TV 

In a coma you don't dream 

You just hope that someone sits with you 

Babies turn blue when they're ignored 

Like the sky on summer days 

Before you turn and walk away 

It has changed you 

 

So tonight to compensate 

I will, I will poison myself 

Another coughing, shaking fit 

In a bathroom that is spinning
