Stephen Kellogg And The Sixers - Born In The Spring lyrics

rate me

They were lovely red flowers lining the trees

And they smelled like perfume on the hand of a queen

The car read "Just Married" on the back window

The future was open and how could we ever have known

from south san diego to portland maine,

i have traveled this country seeking my fame

and through all the what fors?

the flames and trap doors through which all of us fell

stories that i cannot tell

and i wish that i ...

now the ocean tides coming up with the moon

i'm afraid we're all living at sea level too

and youre seeing this part of the tragedy through

when the bottle will break, the cradle will fall down on you

the second rate author of his own epitaph

all this potent potential destroyed in the graph

you think to yourself, i'll get lucky at cards

but you dont even know who the hell that you are

and i, still i wish that i was born in the spring

son of a, son of, son of a bitch

cause the daughter's are damned

thats the way that it is

nothing much changes, out in the sun

when the wine that you drink is the wine you become

or you say maybe this time i can dig out of this

so the family relents

and you get yourself pissed,

and suddenly everyone has got some advice

you sell their suggestions without thinking twice

the friends that ive had, and the friends that ive made,

the friends that ive lost, with my hapless mistakes?

and isnt it all just a slap in the face?

that no single person could take up the place of her

still i wish that i was born in the spring

born in the spring

cause everyone's gone, we all die don't you know?

are you so disappointed that it all was a show?

and the first love you had was the only thing real,

and what brought it together in the end was the kill?

and i, still i wish that i was born in the spring
