lyrics

lay my body on the table
i'm down and out now now
i'm growing younger every day
that ain't no rotten storybook fable
i'm swimming with the clouds
and when I go I know I'll be gone in a better way

big old fluffy mountains
i'm sleeping in the manger
twisted in the flowers
and the winds that fall into monterey bay
thumbing like I'll never know
that you can't love a stranger
but I was born a coward
so I'm a sucker for the danger

all you have is what you see
we're orphans of a mutiny
that hung its shadows long ago
and cast its heavy hand in gold
we dust for prints on heaven's gate
we lost the key before we found the race
so we lay our hands in acetone
and our mongrel hearts on painted stones

and we dance around the candle light
and we bright the fire and we curse the night
they left us on this earth alone
so we're looking for a better home
but as for this whole family
were drowned in pain we cannot flee
so we linger on the final song
and sing it like there's nothing wrong at all
