Grey Oceans (2010)

It was Cinco de Mayo
Pillowcase on his head
No more breathing time
An ambulance sped
It sped 'round every corner
Calling out his name.

Shot a rabbit from the backseat window,
Sat and watched the summer corn grow,
Ate ice cream in a desert dream,
And got love in father's scene,
Too hot inside too hot outside
Lazy days, when he said let's go for a ride,
We'll sail on Spirit Lake,
Me, my poppy, and his lemonade.

Tim and Tina were
My parents' names,
They got engaged, they were inflamed
Seduced by their love of butterflies,
How they shimmer, how they glimmer,
Those butterflies...

We seven kids, we almost died,
Nearly put to death by lightning strikes,
Instead there was hot pink flashes in the sky,
We climbed the rocks in snow and rain,
In search of magic powers,
To heal our mother's pain.

Shot a rabbit from the backseat window,
Sat and watched the summer corn grow,
Ate ice cream in a desert dream,
And got love in father's scene,
Too hot inside too hot outside
Lazy days, when he said lets go for a ride,
We'll sail on Spirit Lake,
Me, my poppy, and his lemonade. (x2)
