lyrics

The Amanicans

in every door step there's a doorway
on the door knob there's a door lock
and the door's locked
locked for you
locked for me

there's a key there in your pocket
when you insert it and you turn it
you start searching there for something you can see
it is you
it is me

the windows take off to the town
doing somersaults off ground
through their reflection
what do you see
maybe you
maybe me

your feet come falling down the stairs
to find no house really there
and nobody even cares
that all the peaches and the pears
grow from telephone poles and lightning rods

so, you love to be in love

the priest has his face stuck in his own pants
he's giving sermons to everybody
"can you please come lend a hand?
oh no it's not like that you think
I just wanted to have a drink
you see I left the water running back on land.
you can understand
i'm just like you"
and you're like me

did you receive your invitation to the beheading of the nation?
says the woman as she waves her rubber hand.
"It'll be one great big celebration"
the cursed great migration
of the crows they crow away the marching band.
do you wanna dance?
just with me

"i'm sorry I left the grapes out on the fire escape
i didn't realize their shape couldn't handle all the weight"
from all the people trying to go
i thought I saw them all jump out the window
in their muddy boots they trampled on
and made wine

so, you love to be in love
