lyrics

"Chain-Link Fence"

and if you're not careful
you'll spend your whole life climbing fences
and it's not what you paid for
but the right eye sees what the left cant now its permanent

roof tiles and thumb tacks
blood blister from the chain-link fence
asphalt and black cats
tear your shirt at the top where they cut it

and if you're not careful
you'll spend your whole life digging ditches
and that's not what you signed up for

a jaded heart, some callus palms, and a workers pension
thought the words now you speak them
burned the roof of my mouth when I spoke it
let's find a box you can preach from
the soils rich, let's break this ground, and snap the tension

knuckles grip through holes in the chain-link
fingers pierce woven steel, it's twisted and coiled

roof tiles and thumb tacks
blood blister from the chain-link fence
asphalt and black cats
tear your shirt at the top where they cut it
roof tiles and thumb tacks
blood blister from the chain-link fence
asphalt and black cats
tear your shirt at the top where they cut it

roof tiles, scotch tape, thumbtacks
asphalt, a stolen lighter, blacks cats
roof tiles, scotch tape, thumbtacks
asphalt, a stolen lighter, blacks cats

holes in the street packed with gravel
drainage ditch overrun with weeds
a grocery bag held taught to the fence as the wind presses against it
bits of broken headlights
scattered, scattered
sun-baked plastic, its all fake decay
rain soaked cardboard mixed with construction sounds
noises of pollution
birds sing to the nature
nature has its own movement
fences put down to separate
a chain-link ladder, a chain-link fence
