bottles of darvocet
by unreal corvus
star trek, batman, outer limits
bewitched, jaques cousteau, gomer pyle
mama says her head hurts lying in the dark
boys play quiet and dogs don't you bark
mama so big so fierce and so strong
lays in bed all weekend long
bottles of darvocet in her top drawer
daddy's a doctor so there'll always be more
there's no light except the tv
shining on my little brother and me
billy feed your brother, that's my little man
gave him a sandwich of mayonnaise and jam
bottles of darvocet in her top drawer
daddy's a doctor so there'll always be more
sea hunt, f-troop, the invaders
green acres, get smart, my three sons
everyone's sleeping now leaving just me
alone with my playmates that live on teevee
the enterprise wooshed and the bat logo twirled
living at the bottom of a tiny dark world
bottles of darvocet in her top drawer
daddy's a doctor so there'll always be more
third rail memory in an old man's head
carry it with me until i am dead
i can still picture that tv in my mind
watched by a part of me left behind
bottles of darvocet in her top drawer
daddy was a doctor so there always was more
flipper, lost in space, bonanza
gilligan's island, wild kingdom, mr. Ed
