lyrics

"Neighbor's Yard"

it's the everlasting ultimatum
a self sustaining tired eardrum
violin strings played for pyramid schemes
long words from an older bible
a broken tower and a language we can't understand
cooling fountain, warm colors, and desert sands
fill it up, pack the trunk, let's hit the open road
empty wine bottles, stolen mobile phones
keep the rod I'll take the fish
half a gram short and a broken wrist
it didn't happen but it's still written down
home-schooled fossil fuels in a small town
it's the everlasting ultimatum, said that
a self sustaining tired eardrum
violin strings played for pyramid schemes
long words form a really, really old bible

and like a seed coming up from the underground
or like a child raised up tall under clouds
beat up pickup truck
parked crooked in your neighbor's yard
and like a child coming up from the underground
or like a seed raised up tall under clouds
beat up pickup truck
still parked wacky and crooked in your neighbor's lawn

old growth forest versus new ministries
poisoned blankets traded in for a set of gold teeth
caught on film but it didn't get developed
Uncle Sam's asleep, so is Mother Nature
split the pack of Newport's, nineties Cadillac
forget about the times we spent hanging out before the internet
spoiled fruit served to rotten people
I don't mind the pinch, I just can't stand the needle

and like a seed coming up from the underground
or like a child raised up tall under clouds
beat up pickup truck
parked crooked up in your neighbor's yard
and like a child coming up from the underground
or like a seed raised up tall under clouds
beat up pickup truck
still parked wacky and crooked up in your neighbor's yard, lawn

they still there
they still there
crooked and wacky
crooked and wacky
