Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The good people built those houses with their hands
And told their daughters to play on tin drum sets
While an old man put a grandkid on the piano
And they played Chopsticks until their hands went dead
[Verse 2]
And cats were thrown off the backs of trucks
And ambled up the yard to us singin'
"All I want is a bed to lie in, loving arms for me to die in"
And the garbage man took the cans he can't kick down Miss Val Holzer
If he wants to, no, he can't, no, he can't 'cause he's a married man
If Mister Van Holzer found out with his short temper
You know what he will do
And she was singin' true
But the garbage man's the only one can dance real blue
And pretty soon the fire trucks and ambulance were singin' too
They were singin', ooh
Oh, ooh
They were singin', ooh
Oh, ooh
[Verse 3]
So if you move out west
It's best to keep a very close eye on your kids and pets
'Cause big birds have been known to dive
And carry those precious things to heavy heights
And drop them in a field
Where sad sisters all come down to kneel
And hold their hands to their hearts
I learned to lock all of the things they love up
They were cryin', they all were lyin' in the field
They were singin' from the places where they kneeled
Yeah, they were singin'
Yeah, they were singin'
They were singin', ooh
Oh, ooh
They were singin', ooh
Oh, ooh
[Verse 4]
Someone in my head said
When all you have is land, things with wings
Can present themselves as a pretty big damn threat
When all you have is land, things with wings
Can present themselves as a pretty big damn threat
When all you have is land, things with wings
Can present themselves as a pretty big damn threat
When all you have is land, things with wings
Can present themselves as a pretty big damn threat
And the garbage man and the ambulance
Oh, loving sisters, tin drum sets
Married women and their men
They all were singin'
They were singin', ooh
Oh, ooh
They were singin', ooh
Oh, ooh
