lyrics

dogs diving into lakes
running out of sight
through the old barbed wire
mouths filled with tar

homes standing up to sun
in their new tan pants
and their fiber lungs
all filled with glass

and the words you say
could cut the grass
if it wasn't dead
when we'd die to be young

will the neighbors stay
growing old to be poor
on their hardwood floors

logs turning into flames
in their red brick frames
while the tv rolls
in waves of laughs
this cast

pain turning into lust
digging into ground
where the old nails rust
and scratch our mouths
can anybody let me in

and the words you say
could cut the core
of the christmas lights
like blood from an orange

and the black water
in the swimming pool
it fills the pump

and the dead leaves
by the laid-down rake
form a battleground

sons leaving town for school
hiding new tan pants
and their christmas cards
inside the trash

jobs leaving town for good
going into debt
for a brand new car
to drive to war
to war
