The Minus 5 - Old Plantation lyrics

The old plantation has been abandoned The love is gone yeah the love is gone New hieroglyphics braid the columns Kids on the M-Train baptize the lawns Your floating jukebox stuck on "I'll get you" So lost at sea yeah so lost at sea You watch the rations you man the spygla** So far from Memphis rivers from me But did you ever really try To peel away the sky Neither did I The master bedroom its shutters hanging It's no museum it's no museum The fields are barren but for a bonfire A pile of empties in the mausoleum But did you ever really try To peel away the sky Neither did I God bless the shelter so bruised and battered God bless the days yeah god bless the days The old plantation is like a sore now A home for maggots but don't turn away Don't turn away until you try To peel away the sky Don't turn away until you try To peel away the sky
