we make bets
about how far out it will get
then we pushed our couch
off of the pier
ooo ooo, we're taking pains to hide
what we hold dear
we rolled our piano
on the pond the ice hummed along
we hid maps behind wallpaper
ooo ooo, we are kids, we are grown
we're alone
port adieu, I have been good to you
port adieu, I have been good to you
we leave our red boat
excavated and bared in a tree
our rabbit ear tv in a chimey
ooo ooo, we are trying to break
bad habits
and as we drive from home
the dark towns grow
Brother John, can't you hear
ooo ooo, morning bells can't you tell
how we learn
