Forest Fires (Ry Spears Mix)

from Endless Summers by Peter Arvidson

lyrics

Get out your hose
Spray those garden gnomes
Setting fire to the bushes
You can feel your stitches
Coming out every day, and its ok
When they come out at night for you to play
And they drive in the knife to your soul
And you feel in your bones you're growing old

And you fight every day for your right
To put out all the fires in your mind
And you can't align
And that's fine, and that's fine

I went to the store to get a bottle of milk
But I came back with 30 yards of duct tape

I don't get it, I don't get it
I don't get it, nothing makes sense for me now
I don't get it, I don't get it anymore
I don't get it, forest fires burning down

I've been walking to the room
Its the same one that I left yesterday at noon
But now its different colors, shades of green, and blue, and red
And yesterday I could have sworn it was yellow instead

But I guess I have to trust my internal rhythm
The clock's telling me that I'm just having another vision
Of what was to come, reality it seems, has me on my knees
I don't want to be free
Don't tell me those pesky gnomes are back

I don't get it, I don't get it anymore
I don't get it, I don't get it anymore
I don't get it, nothing makes sense anymore
Coming for me, forest fires are burning

Forest fires are burning
Forest fires are burning
Forest fires they are burning
We're learning

Start with the stump and take it down
Can't char it anymore, its been around I swear
I saw it last Thursday looking like it was flying
Towards the sky, the trees deep in the soil now

Forest fires burning
Forest fires burning
Forest fires burning down
Garden gnomes are running around

You've got to take your hose and put them all back
Spray them off when they're catching fire, you've got to attack
Fires burning, forest fires burning more
Fires burning, forest fires burning more
Fires burning, forest fires burning more
