Lyrics
Trouble found me sleeping
So I followed it downstairs
Saw mom on the couch
The TV was on, I remember
The sound of the chopper flying low
We didn't know why it was coming
And they called with the
Chicken in the oven
It was the chaplain, he said
You came in with your jaw torn, still talking
I found you in the hospital, asleep
I wonder which one of us
Looked stranger then
Once I thought being lost
Was only a part of being young
But the old man in the bed next to your cot
Was screaming louder than anyone
Saying, "Mama, mama, mama, mama"
Little white mice run across my bed
While the nurses play poker outside
Oh my God
How is the other guy?
I can't believe someday I'm gonna die
Trouble found me sleeping
So I followed it downstairs
My mom on the couch
Watching TV, something moving
Helicopter flying low
We didn't know just why it was coming
And they called with the
Chicken in the oven
It was the chaplain, he said
You came in with your jaw torn, still talking
I found you in the hospital, asleep
I wonder which one of us
Looked stranger then
Like how when I was little
I dreamed of being at the wade alone
And no matter how much mama would hold and stand over me
It's hard, it's inexplicably hard
You trust that this dark place is still my home
Little white mice run across my bed
While the nurses play poker outside
Oh my God
How is the other guy?
I can't believe someday I'm gonna die
