Attica's Flower Box Window Lyrics - Singles - Carbon Leaf

She broached again and again over the careful morning scones 

That she adored all too quickly as he cranked up his jaw 

And turned off his ear, and she reminded they were his favorites and 

Could we please consider for our morning view 

That flower box window with the three sides of glass? 

(Like in the magazines) 

"Consider it I will," he said, "Consider it gone from your head 

As it is I'm late and not in need of a view 

And you will idle your time away like a bird perched at the window sill 

So off I go and I'm gonna auction you off if you insist my little gem 

My little hen to persist with this mentality" 

"No more of this, she said, "Living in the shadow 

Of my other sledgehammer, saw hacked away at the wall 

Giggles, fear and dust, she chipped away and punched a hole 

And the sun winked through with its artist eye 

As if to say, "Wherever you been Attica? 

Break the seal of your conventionality" 

Not used to this awakening in you 

Stash your dreams up in the cupboard bare 

You know your name 

She made her way to see that sun and headed out the door 

With a wide stride to attack it from the other side 

She ripped away, she talked aloud, belly laughed 

And one by one the bottled spirits came to the curb 

To see what was goin' on, "Attica, my dear" 

They said, "Have you gone and lost your head?" 

Here's a magazine, now go and find me that window frame 

And to the nursery with you, we've got a lot to do 

You can help or get out of my way 

Not used to this awakening in you 

Drink your tea in the same way 

(Same time each day) 

You know your name and you know who you are 

Well, the spirit caught like wildfire and she had a crew 

And between them all her flower box window was installed after all 

Fanfare from the kitchen, street bazaar in the yard 

(I see you, you see me) 

Bottles uncorked, wildflowers free
