Chady Saves The Day

Kay Hanley


I said its only worth doing
to bother you 
and he said well you must be tripping 
yes that was true but i came here to rescue you 
now i'm a stone on a lake 
and i'm skipping 
chady lights the way 
chady saves the day 
we were at best with a drink 
and a cigarette 
and we darkened a fine line 
i was busy ignoring his litany 
of regrets 
it was by grand design 
chady lights the way 
chady saves the day 
all those photographs 
pulled from gilded frames 
all the breaking glass 
i want it back 
now you're so pure 
propped up by your ghost 
all the cheap allure 
i want it back 
but memory fades and lies 
i just want a life 
i don't want to hurt anyone 
but sometimes you have to 
i just want a life 
i don't want to hurt anyone 
but sometimes 
chady saves the day
