lyrics

We kissed them like home.
We kissed them like anger burns
tape worm hungry.
Gnawing glow puke green deflates
like spray-fire doubts
made good lunch

How much life lives hoisting
shoulds like flags
plopped foreign-packed unearthed
far off soldiers fighting in dirt
and they only ever hugged us out mirth

But didn't you know
mountains are always dry
But didn't you know
they were just lungless foothills

Maybe they thought if they could shake
the fruit from a good tree
they wouldn't be barren too

Maybe they thought
that summer fruit was all to frightening.
And you thought all those dead trees
looked pretty
like veins or lightning
Well I guess they do if I crook sideways

But then the wind blew
and you were cold.
But then the wind blew
and you were cold.
