lyrics

Frankie found a box spring in the backyard
I been cutting my coffee for tea
She’s defined her mind once or twice before
But she’d never tell that to me
No, she’d never tell that to me

It’s easy to forgot in the desert
That there’s anything quite like the sea
Frankie only ever dreams in black-and-white
But she’d never tell that to me
No, she’d never tell that to me

Now she’s bought a place in the country
Where her city self can be free
She’s convinced the neighbors are the FBI
But she’d never tell that to me
No, she’d never tell that to me

What if we lived in a radiant garden
With walls all around and no sentries upon them
No towers to steal from our hour of daylight
A forest surrounding us

What if we lived in a radiant garden
With walls all around and no sentries upon 'em
No towers to steal from our hour of sunshine
A forest surrounding us?

Frankie was under
The curse of that
Blue country moon

Livin’ off red clay and
Small cakes in cellophane
And waiting for trial balloons
