Powerlines
Watch those trees are reaching for the powerlines in store for a big surprise
Better open up your eyes to the empty playground, the vacant swings
That taught us all to sing like we were riding on the airlines
Now ink pens leak into the ground because Mary’s not around
And the walls are about to blow down
The wind is threatening our ways, blowing cookie cutter days past the gate
I’ll sit and watch and wait and see who stays
Feel the ground is going hard because winter’s not that far
And all the kids have all abandoned the courtyards
In search of controlled climate rooms, where it’s as dark as a tomb
You can see glow in the dark stars and suns and moons
Dali hangs on every wall, he protects you when the call out
You’re so goddamn uncultured and worthless and small
Safe with dormitory friends who will circle them when
The weather is nice enough to go out again
