Lyrics

Pink confetti, shotgun wedding
Rocket secrets, someone's shredding nineteenth floor
Laundry ticket that exploded
Joust with Quaker pamphlet goaded into war
Ankle deep, we heroes amble
Ankle deep, we'll wade
Ankle deep through someone else's ticker tape parade
Softly
Softly
Softly
Falls papersnow
Softly
Softly
Softly
All of our works blow away
Petals fell on Petaluma
Till-receipt from Montezuma's burger Hut
Mmm-mmm
Every day a billion dollars
Fall as black and white blue-collars plough their rut
Softly (I am the nanny)
Softly (I am the nanny)
Softly (I am the nanny)
Falls papersnow
Softly (ankle-deep we heroes amble)
Softly (ankle-deep we'll wade)
Softly (ankle-deep with someone else's...)
All of our works blow away
Ankle deep, we heroes amble
Ankle deep, we'll wade
Ankle deep, through someone else's ticker tape parade
Jets folded from Wall Street Journal
Shoot down cartons care of Colonel's Chicken Ranch
Kleenex where the guy's been crying
Goodbye note from girl who's flying to new branch
Softly (I am the nanny)
Softly (I am the nanny)
Softly (I am the nanny)
Falls papersnow
Softly (I am the nanny)
Softly (I am the nanny)
Softly (I am the nanny)
All of our works blow away
Letters that I'd meant to send you
To torpedo and up and you, sheet by sheet
Tore up all the beg and bitter
Add them to the drift of litter on your street
Softly (I am the nanny)
Softly (I am the nanny)
Softly (I am the nanny)
Falls papersnow
Softly (I am the nanny)
Softly (I am the nanny)
Softly (I am the nanny)
All of our works blow away
Softly (I am the nanny)
Softly (I am the nanny)
Softly (I am the nanny)
Falls papersnow
Softly (ankle-deep we heroes amble)
Softly (ankle-deep we'll wade)
Softly (ankle-deep with someone else's...)
All of our works blow away
