Hüsker Dü - Hardly Getting Over It lyrics
[Hüsker Dü - Hardly Getting Over It lyrics]
Twenty years ago, saw a friend was walking by
And I stopped him on the street
To ask him how it went
And all he did was cry
I looked him in the face
But I couldn't see past his eyes
Asked him what the problem was
He says "Here is your disguise"
Now he's hardly getting over it
He's hardly getting used to getting by
Now he's hardly getting over it
He's hardly getting used to getting by
Old man lays down by the railroad tracks
Got no paper in his pocket
Got no paper on his back
I asked him what the time was, he
Says "To hit the road now, jack"
Went back to see him next week
He died of a heart attack and died away
Now he's hardly getting over it
He's hardly getting used to getting by
Now he's hardly getting over it
He's hardly getting used to getting by
Grandma, she got sick, she is going to die
And Grandpa had a seizure
Moved into a hotel cell and died away
My parents, they just wonder when they both
Are going to die
And what do I do when they die?
Now I'm hardly getting over it
Hardly getting used to getting by
Hardly getting over it
Hardly getting used to getting by
Now I'm hardly getting over it
Hardly getting by hardly getting over it
Hardly getting by hardly getting over it
Hardly getting by hardly getting over it, ha
Can't hardly get by, by, goodbye
And I stopped him on the street
To ask him how it went
And all he did was cry
I looked him in the face
But I couldn't see past his eyes
Asked him what the problem was
He says "Here is your disguise"
Now he's hardly getting over it
He's hardly getting used to getting by
Now he's hardly getting over it
He's hardly getting used to getting by
Old man lays down by the railroad tracks
Got no paper in his pocket
Got no paper on his back
I asked him what the time was, he
Says "To hit the road now, jack"
Went back to see him next week
He died of a heart attack and died away
Now he's hardly getting over it
He's hardly getting used to getting by
Now he's hardly getting over it
He's hardly getting used to getting by
Grandma, she got sick, she is going to die
And Grandpa had a seizure
Moved into a hotel cell and died away
My parents, they just wonder when they both
Are going to die
And what do I do when they die?
Now I'm hardly getting over it
Hardly getting used to getting by
Hardly getting over it
Hardly getting used to getting by
Now I'm hardly getting over it
Hardly getting by hardly getting over it
Hardly getting by hardly getting over it
Hardly getting by hardly getting over it, ha
Can't hardly get by, by, goodbye
