Unreturnable Dirt Lyrics
Green Grass
The sun’s a shiny liar sometimes
Makes me think: the universe takes sides with me
That I’m a spot of wonder on the earth
That the silent, shaking hands of god k’chooed my chin at birth
That grass is always greenest in my yard
And the birds they sing their tiny lungs right out in my regard
But then I get unhappy
I remember earthquakes in the night
Like when we went to Cincinnati
And you broke my heart like a streetlamp that got shot right out of light
The ocean’s altogether far too blue
Makes me think: the love I have in me still belongs to you
That you’re the only harbor I can find
And you somehow forced these stars into my eyes but I don’t mind
That grass is always greenest in your yard
And the birds they sing their tiny lungs right out in your regard
But then I get unhappy
I remember earthquakes in the night
Like when we went to Cincinnati
And you broke my heart like a streetlamp that got shot right out of light
Maybe love’s a phony dollar bill
And of all the things we never learned, the best is “shoot to kill”
Because I always end up unhappy
I remember earthquakes in the night
Like when we went to Cincinnati
And you broke my heart like the streetlamp that got shot right out of light
I always end up unhappy
I remember earthquakes in the night
Like when we went to Cincinnati
And you broke my heart like the streetlamp that got shot right out of light
