Garden Dance Lyrics

I'm using words in strange and unfamiliar ways

I swore I'd change

Manage decline by twilight

Damage control works just fine

Talk of bygone days and fabled deeds by table wine

Annihilated lakeside, dream over died on the vine

Codified mistrust they plunder, years before

The bust, the rust, and the thunder we hear tonight

All those lies come back to haunt me

Generations after they were born to light

It's not okay

We take these vague impersonal claims

The rest we say it came in a dream

Crazy as it seems, what passed for crazy

All those years ago

Today might make the world seem right as rain

Codified mistrust they plunder, years before

The bust, the rust, and the thunder we hear tonight

All those lies come back to haunt me

Generations after they were born to light
