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 labeled along the map 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 Should'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
