Thin White Rope - The Napkin Song Lyrics

Out eating burgers in a friend's car
Each paper napkin has a happy star
Deep in the trash can they begin to sing
See what a life of innocence brings
These things don't make me sad today

There comes a time when everyone's plans
Fall like a dog from a truck-bed grandstand
Fall like red snow on the freeway
I could have done all these things, he said,
And maybe I could have loved you
But I'll pretend I'm above it now

Night bugs come through the window crawling
Dead man's shirts in the closet calling
Why didn't you write me before I died?
I would've but I don't know what to say
To my best friends
