Slipping Husband Lyrics - Sad Songs For Dirty Lovers - The National

sit down dear we gotta talk 

your acting like a kid 

we don't wanna hear about 

the things you never did 

you coulda been a legend 

but you became a father 

that's what you are today 

that's what you are today 

spending all your time 

somewhere inside your head 

haunted by the important 

life you coulda lead

but your kisses aren't enough 

to keep your kids in line 

so you better straighten out yourself 

and give your baby time 

cause if you don't give her what she needs 

she'll get it where she can 

she's lonely man 

Don't leave yourself alone for too many days 

Sooner than you know your gonna start slipping 

you'll end up talking to the ghost 

of your wife as if you knew her 

your eyes will put her everywhere 

and spending all your time 

somewhere inside your head 

haunted by the important 

life you coulda lead 

Photos 

you'll fuck yourself to clear your head 

you'll close your door and go to bed 

you'll try to sleep without a dream 

that's where she finds you 

that's where she finds you 

Don't leave yourself alone for too many days 

Sooner than you know your gonna start slipping 

Dear we better get a drink in you 

before you start to bore us 

Dear we better get a drink in you 

before you start to bore us 

Dear we better get a drink in you 

before you start to bore us 

"Don't forget the alcohol oooh baby oooh baby ..."
