Picnic in the Palisades Lyrics

Defense inside to feelin' safe

To seein' life as a piece of cake

But when the brick wall hits you first down under

Your reaching for the land that is down a sunder

Keeping meals cold and freeze

As the morning wrinkles, as the midnight seized

I grab loose spears to feel alright

And I stab the fresh ground to feel safe at night

(I'm gonna) Picnic in the palisades

(And I'm) Sinking in the rhythm shade

(It) Seems that, that you take everything

From me, oh what a shame

Woo!

As the danger seems to pass

And creeping along in the drifting grass

A ratta tat tat at the fencing post

Attempts to take meals as if it were a ghost

Alike the man given in to the wild

Has had the rat makin' all of the feast defiled

He has every right to make that rat

Alike, to the food, that rests up up in his sack

(I'm gonna) Picnic in the palisades

(And I'm) Sinking in the rhythm shade

(It) Seems that, that you take everything

From me, well what a shame

(I'm gonna) Picnic in the palisades

(And I'm) Sinking in the rhythm shade

(It) Seems that, that you take everything

From me

What a shame
