Family Tree Lyrics - Odds

There is always someplace safer than the playground 

So let's walk to our private beach at night 

We could always roll these drums down the sand dunes 

Into the surf and continue to think that they're safe 

Sealed up tight, up tight 

I'll be gone before the things that I do now go wrong 

Family tree is burning to heat my house a little longer 

Bobbing up and down in the waves with the moonbeams 

They shine like turtles' backs in bleach and I 

I hope that they'll be sinking soon under the seaweed 

'Cause inside the atoms are moving and helping the fish 

Grow extra eyes 

I'll be gone before the things that I do now go wrong 

Family tree is burning to heat my house a little longer 

I'll be gone before the things that I do now go wrong 

Family tree is burning to heat my house a little longer 

To heat my house a little longer 

Now that all the poison's taken off our red hands 

It's percolating in the deep blue dump 

We'll be counting pay checks with all the zeros 

Mother of nature has gone to the doc for a test 

She's found a lump 

I'll be gone before the things that I do now go wrong 

Family tree is burning to heat my house a little longer 

I'll be gone before the things that I do now go wrong 

Family tree is burning to heat my house a little longer 

We'll move on to planets where we don't belong 

Family tree is burning, the rocket's waiting on the lawn 

The rocket's waiting on the lawn
