"Elderberry Wine" lyrics

"Elderberry Wine"

Sweet song is a long con
I drove ya to the airport with the E-brake on
Ain't heard that voice in a long time
Had to check back there to make sure you were alive

Angel hum of an electric car
Reversing towards me
Sometimes in my head I give up and
Flip the board completely

But everybody gets along just fine
'Cause the champagne tastes like elderberry wine
And the pink boiled eggs stay afloat in the brine
'Cause even the best champagne still tastes like elderberry wine

You'll cry at commercials
At an unbolted leg scraping against the ground
As the tilt-a-whirl goes around

Roll one up, say it's mostly CBD
Say I wanna have your baby
'Cause I freckle and you tan
I find comfort that angels don't give a damn

But everybody gets along just fine
'Cause the champagne tastes like elderberry wine
And the pink boiled eggs stay afloat in the brine
'Cause even the best champagne still tastes like elderberry wine

But everybody gets along just fine
'Cause the champagne tastes like elderberry wine
And your eyes are the green alternative sky
'Cause even the best champagne still tastes like elderberry wine
