lyrics

you're the flower in the swamp
flag unfurling at the top
you did everything that you could
they don't treat you like they should
so you bemoan your gold eggs ran dry
but the words never rhymed; you spit and you lie
mouth writing checks your brains couldn't sign
it's the difference between the lens and the eye
bellyflop into a swivel chair
leap with both feet but you'll leap into the street with crutches
your clothes never seem to fit right
pictures in your dad's suits but the ties are too tight
buried in leaves and burned at the stake
but you're holding the match; you borrowed the rake
how much of your blame should you have to take?
you flooded the car; your foot's on the brake
ships don't come in
when they don't sail
you're deflating your tires in the parking lot so you can't drive home
eyes roll back slow
time rolls back slow
when did you lose the plot?
when did you sell the farm?
did you forget?
