The Decemberists
Better Not Wake the Baby
[Verse 1]
Kick a hole in the hallway wall
Singing like a painted lady
Use your skull like a cannonball
But it better not wake the baby

[Chorus]
How long will this go on?
How long, indeed?
Bang your drum 'till the money's all gone
But it better not wake the baby

[Verse 2]
Make your moan of your lot in life
Split your mind half crazy
Gouge your eyes with a butter knife
But it better not wake the baby

[Chorus]
How long will this go on?
How long, indeed?
Bang your drum 'till the money's all gone
But it better not wake the baby

[Verse 3]
Drown yourself in crocodile tears
Curse the gods what made 'ye
Pine away for your better years
But it better not wake the baby
[Chorus]
How long will this go on?
How long, indeed?
Bang your drum 'till the money's all gone
But it better not wake the baby

How long will this go on?
How long, indeed?
Bang your drum 'till the money's all gone
But it better not wake the
But it better not wake the
But it better not wake the baby
