"The Milk Carton" lyrics

"The Milk Carton"

I think I really miss my bed
Oh when, oh when will the nightmare end?
I had it good, I had it good
And yet I left and can't retrace my steps
My steps
(Ohh)

You're gonna be eaten by a coyote
Run, little one, though the pack may follow
Two quite thin, their brother fatter
He can still win, just gotta be faster
Run for the yard, they've barred up the gutter
That was our route, better find another
Was that a rabbit? Really not like the one
I've seen on a cereal box

And the birds don't talk
Like the ones on screen
Have they really domesticated me?
And the birds don't talk
Like the ones on screen
Have they really domesticated me?

Cotton tail, gonna end up in jail
Wrong place, wrong time
Bad tune but it rhymed
And lined up perfectly to blame
The one who is far too tame
And he say
"Out, let me in, let me in, let me out
Stop tellin' me all about your problems
I been to hell, still in, get me out
Whatever they are, I don't know how to solve 'em"
"Out, let me in, let me in, let me out
Stop tellin' me all about your problems
I been to hell, still in, get me out
Whatever they are, I don't know how to solve 'em"

Say, is that the kid from the milk carton?
Can I do anything when I'm also missing?
Something tells me kid
Never learned to swim
But can I do anything when I'm also drowning?

Think I forgot a couple things
My brain is still at home
Home's far away
I really thought that life was one big race
But now I know it's one big chase

You can still win, just gotta be faster
You can, you can, you can, you can win
You can still win, just gotta be faster
You can, you can, you can, you can win
You can still win, just gotta be faster
You can, you can, you can, you can win
You can still win, just gotta be faster
You can, you can, you can, you can win
You can still win, just gotta be faster
You can, you can, you can, you can win
You can still win, just gotta be

I think I really miss my bed
Oh when, oh when will the nightmare end?
I had it good, I had it good
And yet I left and can't retrace my steps
Think I forgot a couple things
My brain is still at home (Stop telling me all about your problems)
Home's far away
I really thought that life was one big race
But now I know it's one big chase (Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)

You're gonna be eaten by a coyote
Run little one
Though the pack may follow
Two quite thin, their brother fatter
You can still win, just gotta be
You're gonna be eaten by a coyote
Run little one
Though the pack may follow
Two quite thin, their brother fatter
You can still win, just gotta be
You can still win, just gotta be

Oh, the air is thick
Kinda makes me sick
Can I give CPR when I'm suffocating?

And the birds don't sing
Like the ones on screen
Have they really domesticated me? (You can still win, just gotta be)
Have they really domesticated me? (You can still win, just gotta be)
Have they really domesticated me? (You can still win, just gotta be)
Have they really domesticated me? (Faster!)
