Bright Eyes The Trees Get Wheeld Away Lyrics

The Trees Get Wheeld Away Lyrics

Anchormen spike their blood, wear masks of mud
Cucumbers cut to fit their
eyes
So no one would know how tired they’ve grown
Of talking and
telling their lies
While the TV's change stations, scroll
messages
Victims and Christians are both drinking blood
And they pray for
the destruction of all hatred
More often just those with hate for
us
'Cause it hurts when you discover one's worse and one's better
To
suffer or cause others to
And you can live by your conscience, now guilt is
a concept
You’re no longer subscribing to

There’s a
virgin in my bed
And she’s taking off her dress
And I’m not
sure what I am gonna do

There’s a song stuck in my head
And I
can’t help singing it
And how I hope my singing pleases you
'Cause
I am not who I've become but what you made me into

I’ve got no
health insurance, no cellular service
No disease they can cure
We need
more money to burn so each person must learn
The dollar amount they are
worth

And those pills make me dizzy, forgetting my body
I watch as it
walks away
And I just keep drinking the poison and smoking the cartons
A
pack and a half a day

And so when time comes to claim me
My friends
and my family will gather around my grave
And they’ll believe that
they knew me and loved me and miss me
And all call me by my name

So
imagine what you want
And then hold onto that thought
'Cause
that’s as close as it will ever come

And believe you’re
where you are
Just keep acting out the part
At the end of the day the
trees all get wheeled away
And you’ll be standing alone in a blank,
blank space
So believe you’re who you are
And just stay in
character
But at the end of the play the audience walks away
And
you’ll be shivering cold on a well lit stage
