Bought a Bride
Trees will make a forest, trees will make a bow
These are all the harder words you have to know
If everyone's a structure where their own savior sits
I'm a little red house but no one's living in it
Cars are little blood cells, we are oxygen
City is the airway, suburbs appendages
She was feeling lonely, tired of her hive
Rented out a family and he bought a bride
Bought a bride, bought a bride, bought a bride
Little cities names are barely on the maps
They tied her up and laid her on the train tracks
Where are all the seedlings we grew for violence?
Down in Jersey lumber stealing prosthetic limbs
Should've been a soldier, I could've fought and died
There's no revolution so I bought a bride
Bought a bride, bought a bride, bought a bride
Coming down the aisle while the horns play 'Taps'
They tied her up and laid her on the train tracks
Somehow I always knew when everything was unsaid
Go and buy a hammer, never sing again
