Daisy

It's spring, and the cherry blossoms sprout The legs are out, and the bronzed chests And fires bejewelling the southwest Thank you, darling, for these silver gelatin echoes of me With you smiling like he has to for the cause, for the tribe For the boys, for the lie Nobody heard me crying in my sleep And me and the men of the frontier stack the bodies in a heap Jimmy grabs a beer and we wash our hands in the creek And talk is cheap And frangipanis growing back home And shading the bottom of the line Once we were dreaming of pearls Now me and my sons all dream of iron Well Daisy baby, are you driving home? 'Cause this baby doesn't want to walk alone She said, "Ooh" as she grabbed my tongue Sometimes you gotta rock the cradle, baby, on your own Is that boogoo with the big chain? Is that Annie with the white dress? Is that granny with the white man With the no name and the no stress? Like, what about the empire? What about the cross? What about the halos? Are the angels inside with the Xbox? That's a dollar for any can And on Thursdays I'll be heading back to see my man Well Daisy baby, are you driving home? 'Cause this baby doesn't want to walk alone She said, "Ooh" as she grabbed my tongue Sometimes you gotta rock the cradle, baby, on your own Damn, it's cool on the bathroom floor Well, Daisy doesn't have a babe no more Damn, it's cool on the bathroom floor Daisy doesn't have a babe no more Did seeing real blood remind you that I had a heart? That was the last kiss, that was a real one When I see you next year I'll be perfect, yeah I'll be perfect for you, babe
