Rehab Red Water Lyrics

When I was twelve
While checking the mail
I was admirin' the car
Of the man next door
And thinkin' to myself, man
One of these days
I'm gonna have me a house like that
With a big red door
And his yard was mowed
And his grass was green
And the driveway was edged
And all the shrubs were trimmed so perfectly
I had a crush on his wife
And I played ball with his son
I pondered how much money he made
Went inside and turned the TV on

And he was layin'
In an overflowing bathtub of red water
The first and the last time he ever relaxed
And they said,
"He had a smile on his face, his final offer
The steam on the mirror said, 'one more thing to say'"

I was watchin' TV
Havin' one of Mom's famous Rice Crispy treats
Watching Tom & Jerry
I heard a car, horn beeped
I ran to the window
His wife and son were home
With bags of stuff they had got at the mall
I went in my room and got my glove and ball
I leapt off the steps
And asked his son could he play
And his son looked at his wife
And his wife told his son, "I guess it'll be okay"
That beautiful woman
She walked in that beautiful house
When I realized I forgot my hat
I said, "I'll be right back," and turned around

There was screaming
There was crying
There was sirens
I thought I was dreaming
And the sun was shining
It was a beautiful day
His wife was talking to an officer
Through the noise I heard her say,

"And he was layin'
In an overflowing bathtub of red water
The first and the last time he ever relaxed"
And they said,
"He had a smile on his face, his final offer
The steam on the mirror said, 'I got one more thing to say'"

And he was layin'
In an overflowing bathtub of red water
The first and the last time he ever relaxed
And they said,
"He had a smile on his face, his final offer
The steam on the mirror said"
