lyrics

Is someone living inside that barn,
is it just another shadow spun out of yarn
Am I the only girl living in these woods
are the wolves my sisters have they got the goods
I've never seen a building taller than my head
and the fog makes me think the perimeter's dead
and we've risen up island in the sky
a big blanket of trees with a dark deep eye

The place on the corner's been a bar
and a gift shop
a fishing shop
an abandoned shack
the path splits apart going high up a hill
I shout at the old house
it shouts back

hear an old man yell and a young one cry
like the birds and the bees and someone's weary sigh
See the boys have congregated
hear something being amputated
is there a snowstorm or is it just
all of this fucking town's insufferable white crust
I walked in barefoot in the gravel to the woods back there
I blend in perfect thanks to my green hair

My Whole world used to be on this shire in hell
and I burned in the grins I cracked
I fell through the cornfield craving its waste
shouting at the old house
and hearing something shout back in haste

Every yard got a dog and every dog's got a plan
The wilder they got when the farther they ran
I'm amazed that I can come and go as I am
Born here a tree stump, die near a tran
Down the roads that fold like a sailor's knot
Near the church so I can go and see what ghosts they got
I'll have a big yard next to the old ravine
finally a place I can lay down and scream

The place on the corner's been a bar
and a gift shop
a fishing shop
now a leaf on a stick shack
black smoke rising in the backyard
beyond the old house screaming hard
