The king and queen of many things
But not the cuckoo's colored wings
Had laughed at me and everything
Around the land that lay so barren
I still wonder if they're laughin'
In the dark with folded hands and
Swollen choreographed speeches
Read the cards and we will teach you
How to see through looking gla** and
How to fight a thousand d**hs and
Come out sober
And blame you for nothing
I headed for the mountains and I
Walked up to the great green trees but
They just stared right back at me
Said I could stay here through my pain
Could learn to make my tears the rain
For branches that would still remain
You must be tough to be a tree
To take the claws and winter breeze
You love him more than you will know
You'll fight a war and k** some men
You'll take the long way back to him
We could move out west and buy a piano
We can move out west and buy a piano
