lyrics

look both ways before you cross
the street after dark
take two fingers trace your
favorite birthmark

a goldfish from the carnival
don't last very long
maybe if you're lucky
you can teach it a song

roses are still red
and i heard violets are blue
they'll both be dead by winter
it's a lot to chew

frame a picture
hang a shelf below
open the window
feel your sounds they're growing
turn off the lights
i know where we're going

a beat up yellow boombox
can keep you company
just make sure you keep
a pack of batteries

drive a nineteen ninety ninety-five
ford explorer
hope it doesn't end up
lost on the shoulder

stick to your bike
it's much more ecological
wait for the city
to make transit possible

silly little stories
to occupy your ears
some loose translation
to communicate your fears

frame a picture
hang a shelf below
open the window
feel your sounds they're growing
turn off the lights
i know where we're going

feel free
feel free
take off your shoes
feel free
feel free
fold your clothes
feel free
feel free
take off your shoes

goldfish
