Half Life - Jewel (珠儿)
Lyrics by：Jewel Kilcher
Composed by：Jewel Kilcher
Sally came home today
Didn't have a whole lot to say
Just thumbed the St. Jude around her neck
Took a drag off her cigarette
Gary's still stuck at work
Spilled a green juice on his shirt
Steps outside for a little air
Half listens to whoever's standing near
Half a glass of wine
And half a cigarette
Half the truth
And see how far you get
For all of that struggle and all of that strife
And your consolation prize
Half life
Sally gets herself into bed
Takes half a pill to quiet her head
Watches a little TV
And drifts off into a half a sleep
Half a husband
Half a car
Going half the distance
Not getting very far
Half mother half wife
And your consolation prize
Half life
Gary gets home after dark
Sits a while with his car in park
Just daydreaming
Smoking a little green
Half the time a dad
Half the time at work
Half the time worrying
Exactly what a soul is worth
For all of that struggle and all of that strife
Your consolation prize
Half life
Half baked plans
Half hearted dreams
Half the time wondering
Exactly what it means
You hurry going nowhere
Time cuts you like a knife
And your consolation prize
Oh half life
Sally came home today
