That's how the kids were called
Down from the hills in fall
And when the group was finely dressed, in the clothes she pressed
They were gone
Why does the sparrow fight
Its reflection all day and night
There's little chance to find a truth, in that photo booth
They move on
There may have been a different world
Like the hills of Tennessee before the war
Where this was all they'd ever need
They could run and swim and sleep on some dirt floor
But how those fat wheels can turn
On a dime as their tires burn
She wanted them to hold the course, til she broke the horse
Then let go
Now pantheism give me time
I want to taste your homemade wine
I've been a poor receptacle, I was skeptical
Now I'm fine
Great forces were brought to bear
On these people in their prime
And wind that whipped up chimney soot
Spread it far across the rolling hills of time
With kids out there now I'm home
Hovering like an early-issue drone
To be honest I'm absolved by now, of my faults somehow
This chair's a throne
I've been a poor receptacle, I was skeptical
Now I'm home
