Manchester Orchestra - When We Were Trees lyrics
[Manchester Orchestra - When We Were Trees lyrics]
You fell too fast like a cannon ball
But the fishnet stocking hands
Caught me again
And your head explodes like nothing's wrong
And my God, we laid there silent for an hour
And the birds they watched like a funeral
And they sang us all
Their pretty funeral songs
Yahweh, Yahweh, Hallelujah
What a mess that you have
Made again this time
Tempt us, tempest, Hallelujah
And the birds they cry and
Watch us as we squall and as we fall
And we must have laid alone for hours
I could feel your cold blood
Creeping up my arm
And I asked you if you were all right
But the bubbles from your
Mouth gave out alarm
And our mothers ran towards your ghost
While our fathers tried to
Fix your egg-shelled head
And they're singing, "Humpty Dumpty
Hallelujah
The king himself could not fix you again"
Now, I sing because I miss you
And I meant to tell you that
But I was scared i was scared
But the fishnet stocking hands
Caught me again
And your head explodes like nothing's wrong
And my God, we laid there silent for an hour
And the birds they watched like a funeral
And they sang us all
Their pretty funeral songs
Yahweh, Yahweh, Hallelujah
What a mess that you have
Made again this time
Tempt us, tempest, Hallelujah
And the birds they cry and
Watch us as we squall and as we fall
And we must have laid alone for hours
I could feel your cold blood
Creeping up my arm
And I asked you if you were all right
But the bubbles from your
Mouth gave out alarm
And our mothers ran towards your ghost
While our fathers tried to
Fix your egg-shelled head
And they're singing, "Humpty Dumpty
Hallelujah
The king himself could not fix you again"
Now, I sing because I miss you
And I meant to tell you that
But I was scared i was scared
