Christopher is always in his head, she said 
 I think it came without a sound - 
 The world woke up and he broke down 
 
 Christopher was always good with the girls, she said 
 But even so I never saw 
 him fall in love with one at all 
 
 When he's tired, she said 
 he always goes down 
 When he's tired, she said 
 he always goes down 
 he always goes downstairs 
 
 Christopher was never wild. He's glad, she said 
 His father was a stupid man, 
 says Christopher, and so began 
 His goal just to be better than 
 some long-gone, no-good, stupid man 
 He could have made a better plan 
 He should have made a better plan 
 
 Christopher would burrow deep if he could, she said 
 Somewhere far away from here 
 And sleep until he disappeared 
 
 When he's tired, she said 
 he always goes downstairs 
 We don't see him for hours 
 for hours, for hours
