lyrics

Trampolines Vol. 2 Key: F#

Verse 1:
Steve only eats food from a box,
Watching numbers fall from the clock.
All this for Steve is not for naught,
Just wants his son to know he loves him a lot
Like a lab dog he hears the microwave beep.
His icy mouth turns drool into sleet.
Suffering at work he’s behind 18 wheels,
Saving his money by skipping meals.
His son will be thankful for the trampoline
Right after their done syphoning this gasoline.

Verse 2:
In much like the way of the blacksmith
His jobs now hanging there just by an inch
When things go bad they tend to get worse
He's in a coma; now the boy's not alert.
When semi trucks become self driving rigs
Sad old Steve will be out of a gig
It was too many falls off his trampoline
Now they're both hooked on prescription morphine

Verse 3:
Steve's ex-wife has had it to here
His life right now is just powder and beer.
He already lost her so so long ago
But now his life has tumbled to new lows
The hospital bills have piled up
Pills turned to tracks because it's never enough
Sees his son through the eyes of a camcorder
Because that trampoline is now a court order.

Chorus:
Your lessons aren’t for loan.
(I had to learn them on my own)
I choose to roll my own dice
(Gambling for paradise)
So now your stories are mine
And I tell myself I am fine
(And he tells himself he's fine)
