Текст песни Ball and Chain - Jonathan Coulton

Did you say it was black tie?
I lost a button, but it fits just fine
Remind me: what time?
Do kids still high five?
Cool dad is fun, cool dad's your favorite guy
Watch me on the floor
Ball and chain, what would I be?
Without this weight that's pulling me
Down and out and back again
Don't ask me
Don't ask me
So I'm giving you these keys
Ten minutes more no matter what I say
Then the Irish goodbye
And the seat's up too far
Back roads, I'm spinning with the starry sky
Pour me out at home
Ball and chain, what would I be?
Without this weight that's pulling me
Down and out and back again
Don't ask me
Don't ask me
I'm a little bit surprised
I sleep for 50 years and you're still here
Taking up my side
And the sun moves so fast
Too fast to see, too bright to look too long
Open up my eyes
Ball and chain, what would I be?
Without this weight that's pulling me
Down and out and back again
Don't ask me
Don't ask me
Don't ask me
