Big D And The Kids Table Fatman Lyrics

{he never minded he never cared he walks with his shirt off he walks and we stare don't laugh, don't mock, don't snicker don't point, he's happy to be alive he's happy that's the point}
(well i think that) they're all called Charlie yet probably not
they're always sweating buckets, skins beating red hot
well it's like do you think you'll make it home ok,
because step after step you'll be digging your grave
they're good they got it they know what they need
life's better for them for them i see, they ignore what
they hate and keep what they like, this time i'm going
to do it right
see him, in a store walking down the aisle
on his face a great big smile can't be certain moveing side to side
celebrating living is his passion and his pride out of control
asleep at the wheel, dave's got a friend and his name is neil
{chorus}
(manchester, singing beach, 2:00)
a bleached whale he tries to flip over now,

can't, move, sand, what, tries to thrash around while the tide starts to move in
god i hope charlie swims now a red bellies floating around
all the kids are jumping off him on the beach there's a crowd
he doesn't mind in fact i think i see a smile
fatman's playing all the while, thinking of the time when he thought that no one cared
celebrating apathy controlled yet unaware
wondering if people thought that he was dumb and slow
maybe i don't know, but i don't think so
slip and slide out on the lawn so sad those days are gone
grass stains on all of his clothes
got yelled at by his mom well i'm fine now you wonder
why now i always had my self respect never had a single doubt
never let your words cut through me
through me
it's those words that took his laughter
it's those words that took his pride
it's those words that left you helpless all alone you wonder why (repeat) {chorus}
