lyrics

We've got no sons, we got no daughters
We've got no land, we got a truck because we bought it
Got some seeds but they won't grow
I've got three dollars in my pocket but that's all I've got to show
I've got two eyes, they love TV
They love your hair, your eyes, your mouth, they love your teeth
I've got two hands, they work just fine
In a thousand-person lineup I think you would know they're mine

Stared at the sun and saw your face
I focused in and all the spots hit the right place
Though you weren't there I still could dream
That you would walk in any minute and sweep me up off my feet

If I can't explain how this got so far
It's because you never really made it hard
And if I fell down you would pull me up
Like some perfect mix of love and luck

I saw the light, the light saw me
When it went dim I filled the place with LEDs
I saw two fists, they looked so strong
I had to do my best to flee

If I can't explain how this got so far
It's because you never really made it hard
And if I fell down you would pull me up
Like some perfect mix of love and luck

I am lying in the window watching you in the garden
Pressing my face against the window while you trim back the rose bed
While you work in the yard I begin to sweat and pace
When I awake from my dreaming I am in the same place

You saw my face, it looked surpried
When you came in because you came back right on time
I watched your mouth speak with a grin:
"You can't break down every time the distance does you in"

If I can't explain how this got so far
It's because you never really made it hard
And if I fell down you would pull me up
Like some perfect mix of love and luck

Vivian the Band Seattle, Washington

The aural equivalent of scraping the freezer burn off the top of a pint of ice cream you forgot about. But, like, it's your favorite flavor, so it still turns out pretty good. And when you finish it, you put on some slides, drive three blocks to a mini mart, and buy more. But then you feel bad you didn't walk, cuz it was only three blocks. You then pass out on the couch and all the ice cream melts ... more
