lyrics

I read it last night through my Home Depot glasses
A voice had died who’d given purple to grey masses
It got him bad
Oh it got him good
And it made me think that we weren’t doing all that we could
This blade of grass that I cut last week
Lived in a world where all the things that we hold dear got to speak

I don’t know what we did before that
Walking through a world without the ears sewn on top of the hats
Something less
Still rich I suppose
But I thank that lucky star that I don’t know
Yes I thank that lucky star that I don’t know

I read it last night
My phone it tells me the news
Between guessing what I’m thinking and trying to sell me shoes
It shows me a picture
It plays me a song
Well tonight I’m lining up all the ones that I want to hear all night long
The one with that part where you get right up inside my head
That time when I’m lost and all I want is just my rumpled up old bed
That time when I was mean
Because I knew that I didn’t have a case
That time when I was humbled
But damn if I just couldn’t make the humbled face
That time I was so confused
But I looked around and to everyone else it just made all kinds of sense
That time it all looked like Medusa but also kind of heaven sent

I don’t know what we did before then
Milling around without observations from that guitar and pen
Something still
Still with heart I suppose
But I thank that lucky star that I don’t know
Well sometimes we could all do well just to see ourselves as balls of melting snow

I read it last night through my home depot glasses
