lyrics

Eric was our friend he was the king of the guys
Funny, clever, a glint in those eyes
He'd always do what's right, never lost in a fight
Hosted poker at his place on Wednesday nights
Married Susan, his high school girl
The perfect couple, she was his world
He was our ideal - his work, his humour, his wife
The perfect couple and the too perfect life

A happy tale, a happy couple tonight
A happy tale, a happy ending in sight
Living out the ever-loving suburban dream
So god damned perfect that you want to scream
No more

Eric won in poker as he won in his life
The deal is on, the joker takes it every time
Susan served the beer but when the chips were all down
Her perfect smile looked like a shadowy frown
"Cute but clumsy" good old Eric would say
Makeup can't hide bruises in the cold light of day
Last night alone with Eric, Susan fell down the stairs
Two broken ribs, a broken nose and blood everywhere

We went to Eric's on this Wednesday day
No poker game, we just dragged him outside
He didn't stand a chance, the odds were one on five
We left him in the mud, but we left him alive

Why - why did he do this
How - did we not know
Why - could not prevent this
How - could she be free
How can we set her free
