Name on a Wall Songtext
von Switchblade Kittens

He wakes up, grabs a coffee
Then sits on the treadmill
Standing in the dark
It just sits there still
I guess he really thought
He′d get to it someday
When it came to him
I guess I thought the same

My dad is a name on a wall
He can't play throw and catch the ball
My dad is a name on a wall
And there′ll be no more names to call
My dad is a name on a wall
My dad is a name on a wall
My dad is a name on a wall
He's a name on a wall


They say he loved his job
And he was a hero
How come I missed the call?
I was the last to know
Yeah, he will wear a tux
But he won't walk me down the aisle
I wish that he′d come home
Say it′s a joke and smile

My dad is a name on a wall
He can't play throw and catch the ball
My dad is a name on a wall
And there′ll be no more names to call
My dad is a name on a wall
My dad is a name on a wall
My dad is a name on a wall
He's a name on a wall

Candles, flowers and flags
I′ll say I'm proud of my dad
Candles, flowers and flags
I′ll say I'm proud of my dad


My dad is a name on a wall
He can't play throw and catch the ball
My dad is a name on a wall
And there′ll be no more names to call
My dad is a name on a wall
My dad is a name on a wall
My dad is a name on a wall
He′s just a name on a wall
