Daisy

It's spring and the cherry blossoms sprout

The legs are out

And the bronzed chests and fires bejewelin' the southwest

Oh, 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

Me and he men of the frontier stack the bodies in a heap

Jimmy grabs a beer and we wash our hands in the creek

Oh, talk is cheap

Frangipanis growin' back home

And shadin' 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 drivin' 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

Ooh, is that Boogoo in 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 and the angels inside with the Xbox?

Ooh, that's a dollar for any can, and on Thursdays

I'll be headin' back to see my man

Well, Daisy, baby, are you drivin' 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 to pay no more

Damn, it's cool on the bathroom floor

Well, Daisy doesn't have to pay no more

Uh-huh

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
