Luyện nghe bài hát For Mayor in Splitsville

Funny you think of after a collapse
While in the dirt the first thing that comes back is never quite what you'd have guessed
And if you could have, you probably would've said check if all your limbs were intact still and
try to get out

We played with the neighbors in their basement
Sister made me husband she was so I did her bidding
I remember their dad came in said, "You think this is bad?
You don't the half." And he laughed.

It's funny what things come
The things you see

How he of smiled like it's only a joke but he was lying
There was something else inside of his
All those secrets people to little children
Are warnings they give them
Like, "Look, I'm unhappy. Please don't make the mistake as me."

Why are old worn out jokes on married life told at toasts at receptions still?
How it never occur how often couples get burned and end uncertain in Splitsville?

Funny what you think of in the wreckage, lying there in the dirt and the and the glass
How you're suddenly somewhere, in the desert, in the nighttime, and it's close to Christmas
And then her and that movie voice she uses she reads,
"Welcome to the Land of Enchantment" a highway sign
And it's late so you the next exit

When that trip ended we back the rent was due I was jobless
I guess in retrospect I sensed decay
Then day, how you said, "I just don't know" and I promised
We'd rearrange things to fix the mess I'd made

But I guess in the end we just moved furniture 3X

But I guess in the end it sort of feels every day it's harder to stay happy where you are
There are all these ways to look through the into your neighbor's yard
Why even risk it? It's safer to distant
it's so hard now to just be content
Because there's always something

Now I'm proposing my own toast, composing my own joke for those men
I'm miserable, I'd rather run for mayor in Splitsville than suffer your jokes again
