Say a sacred night
From on high
Say it all looks great
From a plane
The highway river rolls away
And if you’re one to complain
Then say
When You’re looking through
Such cynical eyes
It really shouldn’t
Come as any surprise
Pace the room
Try to figure out whether
Tell your folks
That your leaving forever
If you’re jetting to that heliopause
I will not be coming with you because
Some one has got
To get these seeds sown
And save them up
For my annual breakdown
Cause it all looks wrong
For the throng
And there’s naught so bleak
As your tweens
Your teens your twenties
I can tell
And if you’d just wait a week
That’s one less
The meanest street’s forever just the one
You are on
The Greenest pastures sing their siren song
From Beyond
But it would be the same
Just be a different reign
Those drops do not care
On whose heads
They fall on
il faut cultiver notre jardon
Give my best to the
Department of State
Hit me up if when you repatriate
If well I guess I’ll just see’ya
Come to visit
If they grant me a visa
As for me I’ll keep my hands in the dirt
Pick some elderberries up
for dessert
I’d make a pie
but I can’t find a strainer
Just eat them up
And they’ll never taste greater
