Skittish - Living Amongst lyrics
[Skittish - Living Amongst lyrics]
Living amongst the green as green can be
A house upon the plains and sounds so sweet
Your grandpa's ghost a'creaking attic floors
Oldies from the workshop
Dishes from the kitchen
Not into the wild but into
The city to be tempted
Living amongst the green is mighty fine
Young enough to know we'll never die
Here we like to watch the concrete creep
Here we spit the wind, yes
Here we play for keeps
I met a man who's face was flanked by gray
He had fault lines whеre his
Frowns too often lay he said, "Son
You'vе got to stop this nonsense
Earn those checks and live for weekends we
Are on the side of angels
And you are not complete"
That's when I learned never to confuse
Wrinkles with wisdom this lesson was new
It's always something else
I hope I go to heaven when I die
But, I have got indulgences to buy
Tell me if that's the road you wish to take
Tell me and I will gladly
Help you pay your way
Living amongst the green as green can be
If I don't try now I'll never be at peace
Whatever happens in the next five minutes
I will still be here in six
A house upon the plains and sounds so sweet
Your grandpa's ghost a'creaking attic floors
Oldies from the workshop
Dishes from the kitchen
Not into the wild but into
The city to be tempted
Living amongst the green is mighty fine
Young enough to know we'll never die
Here we like to watch the concrete creep
Here we spit the wind, yes
Here we play for keeps
I met a man who's face was flanked by gray
He had fault lines whеre his
Frowns too often lay he said, "Son
You'vе got to stop this nonsense
Earn those checks and live for weekends we
Are on the side of angels
And you are not complete"
That's when I learned never to confuse
Wrinkles with wisdom this lesson was new
It's always something else
I hope I go to heaven when I die
But, I have got indulgences to buy
Tell me if that's the road you wish to take
Tell me and I will gladly
Help you pay your way
Living amongst the green as green can be
If I don't try now I'll never be at peace
Whatever happens in the next five minutes
I will still be here in six
