Watsky Lyrics
"Wounded Healer (Deer Tick Sample)"

His footprints are fading away from the beach
We're not a family to pray or to preach
But daddy's best friend took a handful of pills-
and now he's at a podium making a speech.

Yesterday night after dark, he carefully wrote his remarks
But everyone said what he put on his page-
so he threw it away and went straight from the heart

I thought this was a party
But all my friends are leaving
And I still wanna play
Wooh, wooh.
You wrecked me when you stepped out.
'Cuz you're the wounded healer
And you're supposed to stay. Wooh, wooh.

A years o' bottle and a bucket o' trash
It'll tip over the more than it stacks
Didn't notice until now that dad's-
been moving slower everytime we go play catch
I'm scared of the day when he'll carry a cane
I carry his dream, I carry his name
And when papa's gone he will never be gone-
because the sound of our sneeze is the same.

So God bless I hear your voice in mine and I,
wanna stop time like a, carnival ride, because-
I don't know what I'm saying but I mean it
I don't know what I'm saying but I mean it
I don't know what I'm saying but I mean it
I don't know what I'm saying but I mean it, I mean it, say

I thought this was a party.

(Harmonica solo)

I thought this was a party.
But all my friends are leaving
And I still wanna play, wooh wooh.

You wrecked me when you stepped out
'Cuz you're the wounded healer
And you're supposed to stay.
Wooh, wooh.
