Lyrics

slender green stalks rise up,
pleading to the blue oceans above
ever thirsty for deliverance
take us
take us
save us
from an untimely
prematurely
most certainly
definite
death

pedestrian
~
in a land of steel boxes
plastic rubber tiny wheels
but nothing is too far
when you have a car
~
walking is for the birds

the way you play is so graceful
the way I play is so forceful

smooth
efficient
gliding from note to note

while I bang my stump on the fretboard

----
you - breathing
me - bleeding
----
you - singing
me - screaming
----
you - fleeing
me - fleeing
----

the way you play is so beautiful
the way I play is so neanderthal

I'm so lonely here without you
I'm trying to find my way home
I'll pretend that it's cool
I'll pretend everything is fine, yeah

I'm sitting here...
with my head in my hands
I don't understand
don't know what to do
I'm just thinking about you

where are your bare legs
where's that dress you barely wore
where's that smile as big as a balloon
where's that laughter
I hear laughter

I'm sitting here...

Oh, won't you buy me a red balloon?
