lyrics

Skip fourteen and a dozen cry
Until you've been there you never think to come by
The backyard doesn't fit a lot
But it'll serve when things inside start to get hot
So have a seat and have a beer
Don't get up until things start to get clear
'Til all of my apologies
Take on a lilt of Aristophanes

When you get out to the springs you'll see all the things you missed
You might want to get a running start
Up on the limb of the cedars we kissed

So spin the globe, tear up the joint
The edge of the record never sees the point
It's not the grass, it's not the tides
Things are moving faster on the inside
So take it back to your hometown
Where people are playing guitar on the ground
And swim outside to make them see
The sort of type of person that you can be

When you get out to the springs you'll see all the things you missed
You might want to get a running start
Up on the limb of the cedars we kissed

The greatest sidewalks dress in rags
You know them by the colors of their flags
But the sleepy blocks are quite the best
They've earned the opportunity to have a rest
Don't hesitate on the piano keys
They aren't gonna answer when you ask them please
This place just might evaporate
So do your part and try not to concentrate

When you get out to the springs you'll see all the things you missed
You might want to get a running start
Up on the limb of the cedars
