[Verse 1]
Sally came home today
Didn’t have a whole lot to say
Just thumbed the St. Jude around her neck
Took a drag off her cigarette

[Verse 2]
Gary’s still stuck at work
Spilled a green juice on his shirt
Steps outside for a little air
Half listens to whoever's standing near

[Chorus]
Half a glass of wine
And half a cigarette
Half the truth
And see how far you get
For all of that struggle
And all of that strife
And your consolation prize
Half life (Half life)

[Verse 3]
Sally gets herself into bed
Takes half a pill to quiet her head
Watches a little TV
Drifts off in a half a sleep
[Chorus]
Half a husband
And half a car
Going half the distancе
Not getting very far
Half mother, half wifе
And your consolation prize
Half life (Half life)

[Verse 4]
Gary gets home after dark
Sits a while with his car in park
Just daydreamin'
Smoking a little green

[Chorus]
Half the time a dad
Half the time at work
Half the time worryin'
Exactly what a soul is worth
For all of that struggle
And all of that strife
Your consolation prize
Half life

[Chorus]
Half baked plans
And half hearted dreams
Half the time wonderin'
Exactly what it means
You hurry goin' nowhere
Time cuts you like a knife
And your consolation prize
Oh, half life (Half life)
(Half life)
[Outro]
Sally came home today
