lyrics

well the sun got eaten on a summers day
the good lord giveth and the good lord taketh ok
just sleepin sleepin sleepin til the morning

back to school on the very first day
cool sunglasses but i didnt know what to say
will someone tell me how am i performing

somethings missing from the picture pretty
picture as pretty as the hole in your stocking
almond butter
apple cider
stinging nettle
cherry blossom

well My Sweet Lady said
that we would seem to ride through danger
how long
how long
how long ago was that?

and if the truth comes riding in will we be as
lonely as the day that we crawled in a bottle
hell no
hell no
hell no

well lord have mercy i dont give a shit
how the chips have fallen and live with it
thank you for reminding me complacency is boring

thank you for dragging me out of the ditch
where the boys all hunt and the girls all fish
and everything that's natural is foreign

well My Sweet Lady said
that she would greet us as a stranger
how long
how long
how long ago was that?

and if our Hometown Gods are dead
then must we court that fallen angel?
hell no
hell no
hell no

Full and rich, with great musical creativity and a unique blend of nostalgic and exploratory flavors. Our favorite thing about it is simpler though: It shines with love. You just can't say no to that. FirebirdSweet
