lyrics
you found a sweater on the ocean floor
they're gonna find it if you didn't close the door
you and this model sit outside on the side
in a house on a street they wouldn't park on at night
dad was a risk taker
his was a shoe maker
you greatest hits 2006
little list maker
caught in the melody
you wait in the car
you were born with ten fingers and you're gonna use 'em all.
me and my cousins
and
you and your cousins
it's a line that is always running
me and my cousins
and
you and your cousins
i can feel it coming
interest in colors
i discover myself
if your art life is gritty you'll be toasting my health
if an interest in culture should be lining the walls
when your birth right is interest you could just accrue it all
(i know, right?)
