Dad's Gonna Kill Me by Richard Thompson

Out in the desert there's a soldier (1)__________ dead
Vultures pecking the eyes out of his head
Another day (2)________ could have been me there instead
Nobody (3)__________ me here
Nobody loves me here

Dad's gonna kill me
Dad's gonna (4)________ me

You hit the booby (5)________ and you're in pieces
With every bullet (6)________ risk increases
Old ali baba, he's a different species
Nobody loves me here
Nobody loves me here

Dad's gonna kill me
Dad's gonna kill me

I'm dead (7)________ in my humv frankenstein
I hit the road block, somehow I never hit the mine
The (8)________ (9)____________ and I got lucky (10)________ time

And dad's gonna kill me
And dad's gonna kill me

I've got a wife, a kid, another on the way
I (11)__________ get home if I can live through today
Before I came out here I never used to pray
Nobody (12)__________ me here
Nobody loves me here

Dad's (13)__________ (14)________ me

Woo, dad's in a bad mood, dad's got the blues
It's someone else's mess that I didn't choose
At least we're winning on the Fox evening news
Nobody loves me here
Nobody loves me here

Dad's gonna kill me
Dad's gonna kill me

Dawn (15)____________ went out and didn't come back
Hug the wire and pray like I told you, Mac
Or they'll be shovelling bits of you into a sack

And dad's gonna kill me
And dad's gonna kill me

Who's that stranger walking in my dreams?
Whose (16)________ stranger (17)________ a shadow 'cross my heart?
Who's that stranger, I dare (18)__________ his name?
Must be old death a-walking
Must be old (19)__________ a-walking

Dad's gonna kill me

Seven muzzle monkeys standing in a row
Standing, waiting for the sandbox to blow
Sitting targets in the wild west show
Nobody loves me here
Nobody (20)__________ me here

Dad's gonna kill me
Dad's gonna kill me

Another (21)__________ got his wings this week
Charbroiled (22)________ his own (23)____________ pete
Nobody's dying if you speak double-speak

And dad's (24)__________ (25)________ me
And dad's gonna kill me
And dad's gonna kill me
