Silent Spring Lyrics

I was tired, less tired than this

I could shake all those hands missing a fingerprint

It's a funny thing, the silent spring

Hold it to your heart

There it goes, the sun sets in your town

Theres the liquor store that burned down

What a way to waste a saturday

The old folks home on the lawn

Your love dusted me with ddt

I pounded my stakes into the soil

Those new built walls are getting thin

With my luck, the weight will cave in

But it wont kill me

No i know i wont die

But how can i start again?

How do you expect me to try?

I remember the dog hair, and the bone

And all the cigarette stains on all your clothes

From the front door to the porch light

Didnt want to take too much of your time

Your love dusted me with ddt

I pounded my stakes into the soil

Those new built walls are getting thin

With my luck, the weight will cave it in, but

It wont kill me

No i know i wont die, but

How can i start again?

How do you expect me to try?

We smell like two stroke and barbasol in the morning

Your eyes have seen the coming of the lord

Never a dull day waits before us

Never a dull day

Though the asphalt may end in deadhorse

And my coat's made of blankets from the war

Remember most important, most of all,

Never a dull day

Your love dusted me with ddt

I pounded my stakes into the soil

Those new built walls are getting thin

With my luck, the weight will cave it in, but

It wont kill me

No i know i wont die, but

How can i start again?

How do you expect me to try?
