1
Memories come down and me once again
2
caught without an umbrella
3
memories come down and me once again
4
caught without an umbrella
5
Well it was not -that he was particularly
6
suicidal he just didn't care wether he lived or died though
7
it was just a matter of time
8
you got yours and I got mine
9
when he turned sixteen
10
they said he could drive
11
when he turned eighteen they said he could die
12
when he turned twenty one he could buy rum
13
but no one ever taught him
14
how things were done
15
then an angel appeared inside his head
16
she said boy do you think
17
you're realty better off dead
18
he don't know he just shook his heed
19
(chorus)
20
'Cause he thought the day that he died
21
would be a normal day for the people on the other side
22
He thought that the day that he died
23
would be a normal day for the people on the other side
24
but memories come down and me once again
25
caught without an umbrella
26
But time was a matter of velocity
27
in this age of information and technology
28
he would cry in the shower
29
put his face in a towel hot from the dryer
30
then he sat down and wrote a note to his mom
31
when all is said and done
32
can I still be your son
33
because manhood is so elusive
34
and respect is so exclusive
35
and I got a daddy to prove it
36
I think I'll never get to shake it and move
37
then he tied a rope around his neck
38
looked in the mirror and said what the heck
39
I'm gonna bring the whole roof down with me
40
and then he jumped
41
(chorus)
42
"Come in Vernon'
43
But halt way down
44
he heard what the angel said
45
and he realized -he really didn't want to be dead
46
he landed with a thump- his head was reeling
47
layin in a lump- looked up at the ceiling
48
and saw that the rope... had broke
49
well he failed at the only thing
50
that he thought he couldn't fail at
51
that was takin' his own life
52
and he said" I kinda like livin'
53
he could feel his heart makin a boom
54
sounded like music in the next room
55
music in the next room
56
he said "it's time for a celebration"
57
felt his hands looked at his face
58
lifted the rope off his throat, "I ain't such a disgrace."
59
he said manhood is so elusive and respect is so exclusive
60
and I gotta daddy to prove, that some people never get to
61
shake it and move.
62
(chorus)
63
And He knew that the day that he tried
64
was not a normal day for the people
65
And memories come down and me once again
66
am caught without an umbrella
