The Dead Milkmen - The Sun Turns Our Patio Into A Lifeless Hell Lyrics

I slapped a child across the face today
It wanted to go outside - To go outside and play
But the sun turns our patio into a lifeless Hell
The sun turns our patio into a lifeless Hell

I lost my job at the financial firm
Did nothing wrong - guess it was just my turn
Can't afford a fancy awning to block the sun's rays
I watch my neighbors shake their heads and say

The sun turns our patio into a lifeless Hell I found my wife curled up into a ball
Crying her eyes out in our shower stall

In my dreams we gather on the patio once more
Everything is pleasant - our fortunes have been restored
Hey' look; there's grandpa and he's alive again
My wife still talks to me and we still have our friends

The Sun Turns Our Patio into a Lifeless Hell
