June Pinback

Light flickers in my room
Planes flying by
Dropping down perfume
Blanket out the sky
Wander through the smoke
Grabbing for food
Choking on the air
Might pass out soon

Why do I assume these things are
Bad, bad, burnt down, burnt down?
Bad, bad, burnt down, burnt down?
Why must all those pretty things be
Sad, sad, somehow, somehow?
Sad, sad, somehow, somehow?

Sheep trip over the fence
Scared animals trample over the bed (Sheep trip over the fence)
Siphoning out my will
And it might turn out just like they said (Sheep trip over the fence)
And it might be even worse in here

Why do I assume these things are
Bad, bad, burnt down, burnt down?
Bad, bad, burnt down, burnt down?
Why must all those pretty things be
Sad, sad, somehow, somehow?
Sad, sad, somehow, somehow?
Sad, sad, somehow, somehow?
Sad, sad, somehow, somehow?
Sad, sad, somehow, somehow?
(It's up to the trees with the firestorm)
Sad, sad, somehow, somehow?
