lyrics

Woke up with a fear of Irowaddi Delta blues
At the park when midday sparks erases all bad news
Cast your sorry armaments up in a paper tree
Lizards in the woodpile cast a jeweled eye on me
and the cars they swarm the roadway
to the wireless chatter drone
and the parking lot's a mob scene
but the fire burns all alone
Give a man a monkey cure to keep his soul from harm
Give me all your matches you can sleep out in the barn
Clicking off a list of work to do before I die
Lizards in the woodpile there to cast a jeweled eye
and the cars they swarm the roadway
to the wireless chatter drone
and the shopping mall's a mob scene
but the fire burns sad and all alone
when the sunshine unwinds the wooden wands to come home
Marigolds infinite folds may flower paper wings
Or written stark in sidewall chalk can never say nice things
Half a stack of cannonballs that roll right out of view
Lizards in the woodpile cast a jeweled eye on you
and the cars they swarm the roadway
to the wireless chatter drone
and in commerce it's a mob scene
but the fire burns sad and all alone
when the sunshine unwinds the wood & wants to come home
