lyrics

I know that since i said hello I have to say goodbye
so if i slip into the water the sun will surely dry me
I know that since I said I'd come here
I've been cut down to size
I wagered my savings on a crapshoot
but i am the ticket and the prize
and there's a low moan coming from my home
a deep sigh is soughing in the trees
rustling through the sad songs that we sung
a fertile hush in each and every one

I reach just a foot above my forehead
and a mystery keeps my bones aligned
I'd give up finishing the crossword
if my bird brain could find some peace of mind
i am a house well all structures are unstable
and coyotes have moved into detroit
now there's green grass pushing up the concrete
and the vacant lots are full of light

and there's a low moan coming from my home
a deep sigh is soughing in the trees
rustling through the sad songs that we sung
a fertile hush in each and every one
