lyrics

there I was burning the pages
under chandelier skies
gold leaf butterflies on my bedroom wall
a piano a window a basketball

gossamer dreams in the background
but everything I'd need
cigarettes and weed
and friends with cars
a soprano
always in love

so sit in the grass
sit in the grass

sit in the grass
you should be right there where I left you
in the grass

how can you start a fire
with nothing left to cook
using pages of your own book
your just burning
through mourning the child

a student to everyone else
where have the prophets gone?
you've hidden all your songs on the shelf
another blessing undressing itself

just sit in the grass
sit in the grass

sin the grass
you should be right there where I left you
in the grass

all my friends say that they've seen their own deaths
in this new york city mess
where the gravestones look like highrises

I have questioned many times of this earth
would I get a second chance at birth

if I can fit the yolk back in the shell
a smile wraps around my head
cracking up at the joke of it
we only have this one time a single dying sunrise

so sit in the grass...
