lyrics

(Broderick)

Everyones a kid til the money runs out, shit hits the fan and the guns come out/ some sit around waitin for the sun to come out/ drownin in delusion til the summer runs out/ flames flicker out from patio candelas/ buried kites beneath the boardwalk with the broke sand dwellers/ the sadly shrinking shadows of the Martins and the Mandelas/ but there’s a secret they got that they can’t tell us/ nights eating licorice and whispering gibberish to apolitical dissidents proud of their ignorance/ running in ripped socks and broken flip flops/ trying to keep time with a broken wrist watch/ overreacting to an empty audience/ an empty tip jar beneath an old accordion/ on an empty street, the last auditorium

they cut down that last tree in the forest
We build a boat from the branches leave the rest for the florist
baby don't you know why they never caught us
because we sang a chorus that nobody taught us


The sun shown, me running alone into the unknown/ with silly school girls trying to tell me to come home/ reading me love poems like it’ll make a difference/ a fate ain’t wisdom/ I can see straight through prisms/ I’d lie and watch a fountain drop from the Cliffside of a mountaintop, I listen for the sounds and rocks/ until the suddenly the sound it stops.


they cut down that last tree in the forest
We build a boat from the branches leave the rest for the florist
baby don't you know why they never caught us
because we sang a chorus that nobody taught us
