Well she should have gone to school and she should have made it through, but she never

And she should have studied hard, and she should have played the part, but she never

Oh she should have kept her head and got out of bed more in the mornings

And she should have had her day, she'd have done it her way but she never



She made her father worry til he was sick

Found him on the couch one night cold and stiff

Now she drinks away the will and she's not proud of it



Oh Stacey look what you've done

You think that you're the only one



Well she should have had more time to get to know the world a little better

And she should have had more friends to glue her brain and stick it back together

But she had to go around and disagree with everyone she knew

And now all her friends they're going to help her spend her forune



She made her father worry til he was sick

Found him on the couch one night cold and stiff

Now she drinks away the will and she's not proud of it



"Oh mother mother was it always going to be this way?"

It didn't have to daughter but I knew that's what you'd say

"I will put the flowers on and visit every week"

But that won't wake your father from his everlasting sleep
