lyrics

She flipped her coupe on a patch of ice/I took the cash and burned the tires/she always looked at me so nice/she called me her Cain and Able/she picked a daisy with a butcher knife/and laid the bouquet at the feet of power/she burned my fortress like a jealous wife/and kicked my shins beneath the table/I felt like playing in the garbage dump
I felt like burning brand new stereos/she brought them ice cold beverages out/her come the tractors now over the grassy knoll/they're gonna take her down like sledgehammers/they're here to bury her very dreams/its ten o' clock in Memphis, but its midnight in New Orleans//I want to be old and holding up/wool fingers caked in canary yellow paint/like clay-mation clapboard coffee cups/each and every little one of them fingers a saint/and when I say they do not dare despair/though shuffling through the criminal courthouse doors/honey you know you now have nothing left to fear for/that is not your bleeding blood on the floors/when all the scaffolds come crashing down/cathedrals sink back underground/and all the colors fall off of the flags/like leaves filling up the shopping bags/well that’s when I’m coming to town/I’ll dig you out of lost and found/give you a permanent address/give you a permanent address//
