You scuffed your sunday shoes when you leapt the fence
*
to chase the wolves from your baby sister.
Who was eating dirt in the flowerbed
*
near the house where your mother hung her head
*
and wept for the lord to fill her up like
*
buttermilk pancakes at sunday brunch.
Intro (x2)
the town was swept away in oceans of praise
*
with talk about how we re headed home.
and how we ll all be held in the arms of
*
the most selfless love
*
and the good that we have done is already written down
*
and we shall all become a phenomenon.

you scuffed your sunday shoes when you leapt the fence
*
to save your sister from those hungry wolves,
but you fell the wrong way, yeah you broke your leg
* *
and now the animals are turning their heads, they re turning
* *
no, now they re turning back. they re turning back.
*
to take you to their den and lick your bones,
*
to take you down to their home and kiss all on your bones
*
but don t be afraid to go with them,
*
don t be afraid to be carried home.
*
the sky, it will open up, it will swallow you whole
*
but don t worry my love; it will feel so nice on your soul.
* *
so nice on your soul.
*
and you will be laid to rest by gentle hands.
*
and you will be sorely missed by your mother and your father and you,
*
you, you will become your most favorite color,
*
you, you will become your most favorite color
*
like the dinosaurs, discovered, then laid to rest.
*
like the dinosaurs, puzzled over, then laid to rest.
*
like the dinosaurs, pieced back together, and laid to rest,
*
so don t you fret for your baby sister now.
