Vacation In Chicago lyrics - Cold War Kids

I kiss the kids at noon

Then stumble out the room

I caught a cab

Ran up a tab on 7th and Flower

Best recital I had to run

Missed my son's graduation

Punched the Nichols boy for taking his seat

He gets all that anger from me

Still thing could be much worse

Natural disaters on the evening news

Still things could be much worse

We still got our health

My paycheck in the mail

I promised to my wife and children

I'd never touch another drink aslong as I lived

But even then

It sounds so soothing

This will blow over in time

This will all blow over in time

I'm just an honest man

Provide for me and mine

I give a cheque to tax deductable charity organisations

Two weeks paid vaction won't heal the damage done

I need another one

Still things could be much worse

Natural disaters on the evening news

Still things could be much worse

We still got our health

My paycheck in the mail

I promised to my wife and children

I'd never touch another drink as long as I lived

But even then, it sounds so soothing to mix a gin

And sink into oblivion

I promised to my wife and children

That accident left everyone a little sup

But at the meetings I felt so empty

This will blow over in time

This will all blow over in time
