by some couple who consummated

a falling star wished upon that flashed in the sky and was gone

and mouths wet and blonde hair braided

to meet the man in bright green

who had dreamed up the dream that they wrecked their hearts upon

he’s the liar who lied in his pop song

yes you’re lying when you sing along
A E l E l A E B l x2

so here’s the car seat so cruelly weighted

and here’s to faces already faded

week by week it climbs up and climbs on

and we’re feeling all right but we know it’s all wrong
A B E
I’m ashamed to admit that I cannot resist

what I wish were the truth but it’s not

and I truly believe we’re not strong

and we’ll sing until our voices are gone

and then sink beneath the manicured lawn
