(Still Afraid of the Dark)

I hate her lawyer but mine is ok
As long as the kids come visit some days
She can have 'em nights and weekends I guess
'Cause the pictures I have make women undress

You should see my kids they're better than a puppy -
Even a puppy in the park
A couple of drinks and a "Look at that smile!"
And home with the waitress in the dark
(I'm still afraid of the dark)

And the judge, don't start me on family court
It's all about her and the food that she bought
They never count my needs or my debts
My only job is to work and write checks

(chorus)
And now to fumble in the dark

Yes I love my kids, I see them each week
The pictures I take are great memories
We go for an ice cream and down to the park
And they're back with her before dark

(chorus)
And the waitress with me after dark

And I've got a group, some guys just like me
Our exes all psychos, leeches and cheats
We've all discussed, and we all agree
Everything's rigged and we'll never be free

(chorus)
And soft sympathy in the dark
She'll be with me in the dark

(brief instrumental)

I hate her lawyer but mine is ok
As long as the kids come visit some days
She can have 'em nights and weekends I guess
'Cause the pictures I have make women say "yes"

(chorus)
And I won't be alone in the dark

Suburban divorce territory
Still afraid of the dark
Urban asshole territory
Still afraid of the dark
