Stephin Merritt - When Daddy Took The Treehouse Down lyrics

When Daddy took that big old treehouse down He stacked the wood in the garage We never heard him say much after that He put away his camouflage And later when the summer leaves turned brown You couldn't see where it had hung But this is where our big old treehouse was You don't remember, you're too young But in some crazy world of Daddy's own It grew to fill the neighborhood With knotty planks and colored gla** windows And funny little bits of wood Til far and wide they called it “Daddytown” And simply everybody came To stroll around his treehouse wonderland And see where he had carved his name When Daddy took that big old treehouse down You don't remember, you're too young When Daddy took that big old treehouse down You don't remember, you're too young
