[00:12.20]Sally came home today
[00:17.65]Didn't have a whole lot to say
[00:20.81]Just thumbed the St. Jude around her neck
[00:27.76]Took a drag off her cigarette
[00:34.53]Gary's still stuck at work
[00:39.97]Spilled a green juice on his shirt
[00:43.78]Steps outside for a little air
[00:49.51]Half listens to whoever's standing near
[00:57.30]Half a glass of wine
[00:59.89]And half a cigarette
[01:03.25]Half the truth
[01:05.05]And see how far you get
[01:07.85]For all of that struggle and all of that strife
[01:13.26]And your consolation prize:
[01:19.52]Half-life
[01:22.45]Half-life
[01:25.15]Sally gets herself into bed
[01:30.70]Takes half a pill to quiet her head
[01:35.96]Watches a little TV
[01:40.11]And drifts off into a half a sleep
[01:48.21]Half a husband
[01:51.30]Half a car
[01:53.99]Going half the distance
[01:56.00]Not getting very far
[01:59.45]Half-mother half-wife
[02:04.36]And your consolation prize:
[02:10.40]Half-life
[02:13.40]Half-life
[02:16.21]Gary gets home after dark
[02:21.90]Sits a while with his car in park
[02:26.00]Just daydreaming
[02:31.76]Smoking a little green
[02:39.38]Half the time a dad
[02:41.93]Half the time at work
[02:45.00]Half the time worrying
[02:46.84]Exactly what a soul is worth
[02:50.40]For all of that struggle and all of that strife
[02:55.28]Your consolation prize:
[03:01.32]Half-life
[03:04.10]Half-baked plans
[03:07.28]Half-hearted dreams
[03:10.38]Half the time wondering
[03:12.17]Exactly what it means
[03:15.15]You hurry going nowhere
[03:17.83]Time cuts you like a knife
[03:20.55]And your consolation prize:
[03:25.98]Oh half life
[03:32.54]Half-life
[03:38.10]Half-life
[03:40.97]Sally came home today

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
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
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
Sally gets herself into bed
Takes half a pill to quiet her head
Watches a little TV
And drifts off into a half a sleep
Half a husband
Half a car
Going half the distance
Not getting very far
Half-mother half-wife
And your consolation prize:
Half-life
Half-life
Gary gets home after dark
Sits a while with his car in park
Just daydreaming
Smoking a little green
Half the time a dad
Half the time at work
Half the time worrying
Exactly what a soul is worth
For all of that struggle and all of that strife
Your consolation prize:
Half-life
Half-baked plans
Half-hearted dreams
Half the time wondering
Exactly what it means
You hurry going nowhere
Time cuts you like a knife
And your consolation prize:
Oh half life
Half-life
Half-life
Sally came home today
