"cherry" lyrics
Kneel down on hardwood
Place your sweet words, like cherries
Hot breath soft into my mouth
Dig up your weary body
Drink off the edge of worry
Bomb the grassy hill into the center of the earth
While the gears beneath this evil city limp along on fumes
And grind through spirits twice as strong as mine
We desert flowers bloom at night, gathered 'round the fire
With burning plastic, howling laughing eyes
They never know how much it means to me
Rip through the screen door
Let yellow light, like comets out
Because nothing can contain you
You never knock, no
You know I leave the door unlocked
So that you could call it home too
And we all know this battered house
Is doomed to renoviction
All I ask is "hold me for a while"
And help this brutal summer day
Slip to haphazard memory
Crushin' hard through flat beer on the roof
There's nowhere else that I would rather be
And in the bulk aisle jacket pockets full of stolen cherries burst
And I am lost in selfish daydream
I am a bad friend, I'd like to prove it to you
Take a load off, people watchin' on the sidewalk
Hearts full of townie pride and half baked rants against the government
Cause who can you really trust that isn't 86'd from Ralphs?
But don't get me started on Olympia in spring
Cowards never die, so I guess ill just keep seeing you around
I hear the whistle blow at 5, we're killing time
In sardonic, huddled groups downtown
Wake up and all I see are cherries, rainbows behind the lucky 7
Long term memory in pieces on the floor
You brought a bottle to the beach, so they're always there beneath your cheeks
Scratchers and cherries in the sun for everyone I know, yeah
Cause its been a hard year
Place your sweet words, like cherries
Hot breath soft into my mouth
Dig up your weary body
Drink off the edge of worry
Bomb the grassy hill into the center of the earth
While the gears beneath this evil city limp along on fumes
And grind through spirits twice as strong as mine
We desert flowers bloom at night, gathered 'round the fire
With burning plastic, howling laughing eyes
They never know how much it means to me
Rip through the screen door
Let yellow light, like comets out
Because nothing can contain you
You never knock, no
You know I leave the door unlocked
So that you could call it home too
And we all know this battered house
Is doomed to renoviction
All I ask is "hold me for a while"
And help this brutal summer day
Slip to haphazard memory
Crushin' hard through flat beer on the roof
There's nowhere else that I would rather be
And in the bulk aisle jacket pockets full of stolen cherries burst
And I am lost in selfish daydream
I am a bad friend, I'd like to prove it to you
Take a load off, people watchin' on the sidewalk
Hearts full of townie pride and half baked rants against the government
Cause who can you really trust that isn't 86'd from Ralphs?
But don't get me started on Olympia in spring
Cowards never die, so I guess ill just keep seeing you around
I hear the whistle blow at 5, we're killing time
In sardonic, huddled groups downtown
Wake up and all I see are cherries, rainbows behind the lucky 7
Long term memory in pieces on the floor
You brought a bottle to the beach, so they're always there beneath your cheeks
Scratchers and cherries in the sun for everyone I know, yeah
Cause its been a hard year
