Decemberists Sunshine Lyrics

Sunshine Lyrics

On the lawn before the bouquet fell

Long before we heard the ringing bell

When all I want is a good look at your underside



Reading trash like it was Judy Blume

Your paperbacks are strewn about the room

Awaiting their instructions to be mobilized



And everybody knows how it shakes and how it glows

Everybody knows and so it goes



That everybody wants their shoes in the sunshine now



Lazy Rayna had a million bucks

Changed into pennies on a hundred trucks

'Cause linen's legal tender for a layabout



Why hold your breath until your face turns blue

A stretch of rope you know can do that too

The truth be told no one likes a gadabout



And everybody knows how it shakes and how it glows

Everybody knows and so it goes



That everybody wants their shoes in the sunshine now

Everybody wants their shoes in the sunshine now
