lyrics

A weeping willow hiding a whip-poor-will
Over the trash strewn ground
He's singing plainly
I'm thinking maybe
It's not as simple as it sounds
No, it's not as simple as it sounds

Honeydew melting in the back of a rusted truck
Put that cash in my hand, man
I'll sling a song for you
It's what I oughta do
Y'all have been too kind
So let's sing it for 'em one last time

Our bodies twist and turn
Like interrupted prayers
Our bodies twist and turn
Lick the broken glass

Playing the hammer in a junkyard orchestra
Hubcaps spinning on them cymbal stand
Dragstrip slips and a toilet to fix, well
We don't need no more problems around here
No, we don't need no more problems around here

Our bodies twist and turn
Like interrupted prayers
Our bodies twist and turn
Lick the broken glass

Our bodies twist and turn
Like interrupted prayers
Our bodies twist and turn
Lick the broken glass

Time flies while you're dying
Time flies while you're dying
