lyrics

Yeah the bark learned to grow
Higher up on the trees
Couldn't stand to hear me yelling
At the birds and the bees
But the branches came around
Tried to calm me down
But I scratched and kicked
Until I was free
I was lost in the forest
With my hands growing cold
I couldn't feel my brain
Under all of that snow
And the wind felt warm as I froze
Yeah the wind felt warm as I froze
I listened to her scream
In different prose, in different verse
Singing me to sleep
Soft enough it didn't hurt
And like a prick on my arm
Yeah she smiled
Said, some along
So I yelled and ran
Until my legs didn't work
Civilization
Why did you bury me
In constant stimulation
Repeat repeat repeat
It's never-ending
It's never-ending
What did Mercedes say
To make me buy her cars
Yeah she told me I'm a sell out
Said you'll learn to love sports bars
So buy your Tracy Chapman
Cause you won't get far
Between here and the woods
The road's got pot holes and scars
So relax and lay back
Take a load off those knees
No one will know you're gone
Not even the birds and the bees
Said don't worry, just listen
Take your pills and remedies
Forget about the road, the wind
The bark and the trees
But I want to remember
I just want more
I want to travel from the desert
To the western shore
I want to see lions
And elephants
I want to drop from the sky
I want to live out of tents
I want to see love
I want to see war
I want to see hunger
I just want more
I want to feel the wind
On the back of my eyes
I want to hear the leaves whistle
I want to watch the snow cry
I want to watch the grass grow
I want to plant my own seeds
I want to go home
I miss the birds and the bees
(I miss the Northcountry)
