Weakerthans

Hospital Vespers

Lyricist:Stephen Allan Carroll, John Samson, John Paul Sutton, Jason Tait

Doctors played your dosage like a card-trick
Scrabbled down the hallways yelling, 'Yahtzee!'
I brought books on Hopper, and the Arctic
Something called, 'The politics of lonely'

A toothbrush and a quick-pick with the plus
You tried not to roll your sunken eyes, and said
'Hey can you help me, I can't reach it'
Pointed at the camera in the ceiling

I climbed up, blocked it, so they couldn't see
Turned to find you out of bed and kneeling
Before the nurses came, took you away
I stood there on a chair and watched you pray
