Frances Quinlan - Sirens lyrics

The good people built those houses with their hands And taught their daughters to play on tin drum sets While an old man put a grandkid on the piano And they played chopsticks until their hands went dead And cats were thrown off the backs of trucks and ambled up the yard to us Singin' all I want is a bed to lie in lovin' arms for me to die in And the garbage man took the cans he can with Mrs. Van Holzer If he wants to no he can't, no he can't 'cus he's a married man And if Mr. Van Holzer found out, with his short temper You know what he will do? And she was singing true but the garbage man's the only one can dance real blue And pretty soon the fire trucks and ambulance were singing too They were singin Ooo... They were singin Ooo... So if you move out west it's best to keep a very close eye on your kids and pets Cus big birds have been known to dive And carry those precious things to heavy heights And drop them in a field While sad sisters all come down to kneel and hold their hands to their hearts They've learned to lock all of the things they love up Yeah they were cryin They were lyin in the fields They were singin from the places where they kneeled Yeah they were singin They were singin They were singin Ooo... They were singin Ooo... Someone in my head said when all you have is land things with wings can present themselves as a pretty big damn threat All you have is land things with wings can present themselves as a pretty big damn threat When all you have is land things with wings can present themselves as a pretty big damn threat When all you have is land things with wings can present themselves as a pretty big damn threat And the garbage men, and the ambulance Oh lovin sisters, tin drum sets Married women and their men They all were singin They were singin Ooo... They were singin Ooo...
