Vacancy - Catapults

Hey dad, I hope you don’t mind

That I ended up playing a guitar

And not your favorite four strings

I like to think that you’d be proud

Of me if you could see

How your passion for the stage is still affecting me

Every single word I say

You’ll hear me say them in your name

Do they play music where you are now?

And if you don’t pay attention

I hope at least you hear the sound

Do they play music where you are now?

And when your body couldn’t move

I hope your mind still played some tunes

I met an old friend of yours

A few weeks back and we

Talked about th days when you would take me to rhearsals

You gave me a tambourine

To play along with your old songs

That distinct sound it made will always stick with me

Do they play music where you are now?

And if you don’t pay attention

I hope at least you hear the sound

Do they play music where you are now?

And when your body couldn’t move

I hope your mind still played some tunes

I wish I didn’t spend my summer

Mowing lawns and washing trailers

One the coast just to afford the rent

When I should’ve been with you
