Farm Dolls Lyrics

Bring to me a laughing dolt

To hang on a pegboard hook

Try me on dominoes

In the garage as it rains

Your maze of deposits has left no lump sum

As the tidepools surrender to June

And though these lazy conundrums have confounded some

They to me are estranged and jejune

Bring to me a crossbow bolt

To aim at a dotard's foot

Leave me on a marsh remote

To raise up a kingdom of soot

Your phase of depression has made all the good

Swarms of lepers like ostriches hide

And though you have spoken I foresee your mood

Writhing like untangling twine

Bring to me a swamp-locked boat

To christen as wayfarers stand

Sing to me a forgotten ode

From the vault of some plunderer's van

Your aimless distraction has scorched many lands

Whose fields might have fostered great things

And though I'm within you I can't see your plan

Just a reliquary devoid of dreams

Near the bay by Annapolis

The brick houses fear the last call

Here to stay, in every one of us

The elements of our own fall
