Excellent Choice letra

Morgan moves back to the familiar charms
Of his fiery days when Morgan still felt something
No longer
Morgan's like a slave, three feet of paper and a family of four
Morgan wonders why his wife is so slow
Blames his wife for his slow love

He shakes his head as he climbs into bed
Grits his teeth as he moves between the sheets
Morgan feels like sudden laughter when he sees

Excellent

He doesn't sleep much on account
Of a terrible pain in his head
And sometimes Morgan sits up in the
Loft reading from a book of children's stories

Now listen
Well, I'm not trying to question your decision
In my opinion
You've made an excellent choice
I don't want to put the doubt in your mind
In my head, well, you're just fine
Excellent choice

Jaws no ordinary sucking harder
Sagging eyelids & pocked cheeks
Intelligent the television buzzes
And crackles and preaches
Morgan feels like his family have
Made a conscious effort to cause him misery

His taste buds have deserted
Sneaking away from his wife's cooking
Morgan dreads the family meal
Clenching one hand under the table
The bland wall hangings
Nod at the food in recognition

They are far too familiar with one another
Morgan's work for minimum wage is no comfort
He thinks about the items that have
Sapped his money over the years, shoe polish
Oven cleaner, vacuum bags, sugar substitute

A pathetic collection of unwanted gifts
And dream-sapping commerce
Any creative reserves once stored are long gone
Morgan seethes at the realization
He has given his children too much of the little he has
Morgan wishes his family dead

Well, I'm not trying to alter your opinion
I'm so happy that you've finally found your voice
I don't want to put the doubt in your mind
In my head you're just fine, excellent choice
Well, done sir

Lacking imagination, and full of despair
Morgan turns tail and leaves without a word
The door shuts compliantly as he moves outside
Slips slightly on the spit-covered steps of his estate

Morgan crunches down the path with regular
Driven feet, pushing through
The gray clouds escaping his mouth
Approaching the train tracks, he sighs
Lays flat across the line, and shuts his eyes
