living amongst - skittish lyrics

Loading...

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
