Superchunk - Green Flowers, Blue Fish lyrics

You gave me the keys, but not to your home The porcelain locks, they just wouldn't hold Against my shoulder, against the cold They gave right in and went on in You put on your helmet, just to breathe You put on your shoes, but you did not leave You made you mind up and took it all back You flew your plane home with the boxes you packed You filled your vase full but the flowers all died You painted them green but the paint would not dry You linked up a list of thinks not to say I put in the tape and began to play You made your mind up but the thoughts came unstacked You flew your plane home, but I flew it back You filled the lake full, but the fish they all died You painted them blue, but the paint would not dry You filled your vase full but the flowers all died You painted them too, but the paint would not dry
