Orphan Anthem '86

We're gone but not better
A lighted match can burn the cabin down he built
It's not long but it matters
Your suit and tie are much too tight in farmersville

My daughter's a goldmine
Combing the hair of the white waves
A fountain of saphires
Under the bridges of utah

Instilled in us ethics
Not by god, but by our choice
I can't even imagine
But i can see it

Tell them all to chop me off
With left handed scissors
Rusting when you're touched
On marble covered mountains
You're the brimstone

When surrounded by comfort
Cotton floors are of no use
We see in our forecast
What we lack in our pockets

Encompassed by standards
And we give ourselves all the credit
I can't put my finger on it
But i can see it

Tell them all to chalk me out
With oval arms
And hopscotch eyelids
On marble covered mountains
You're my cargo

We're gone but not better
A lighted match can burn the cabin down he built
It's not long but it matters
Your suit and tie are much too tight in farmersville

We're gone but not better
A lighted match can burn the cabin down he built
It's not long but it matters
Your suit and tie are much too tight in farmersville

Tell them all to chop me off
With left handed scissors
Rusting when you're touched
On marble covered mountains
You're the brimstone

Tell them all to chalk me out
With oval arms
And hopscotch eyelids
On marble covered mountains
You're my cargo

You're the brimstone
You're my cargo
