Bought a Bride

Trees will make a forest, trees will make a bow

These are all the harder words you have to know

If everyone's a structure where their own savior sits

Then I'm a little red house, but no one's living in it

Cars are little blood cells, we are oxygen

City is the airways, suburbs appendages

She was feeling lonely, tired of the hive

Rented out a family, and he bought a bride

Bought a bride, bought a bride, bought a bride

Little cities' names that ruin all the maps

They tied her up, and laid her on the train tracks

Where are all the seedlings we grew for violins?

Down in Jersey lumber, still in prosthetic limbs

Could've been a soldier, I could've fought and died

There's no revolution, so I bought a bride

Bought a bride, bought a bride, bought a bride

Coming down the aisle while the horns play Taps

They tied her up, and laid her on the train tracks

If somehow I was new, and everything was unsaid

I'd go and buy a hammer, never sing again
