Arms Like Boulders

And so now, now that you realized That planets are spheres with oil on the inside And your God is only a catapult Waiting for the right time to let you go Into the unknown, just to watch you hold your breath Yeah and surrender your fortress And your thoughts will tumble like rocks do Over the valleys of factory oceans The Turkish carpets are flappin' as the wind Drops you down to the surface Yeah, when you're looking for your sweethearts And you're, you're the kind to hide your eyes from the sun And in your world, the strong survive But I won't take my body down Let me tell you, your arms are like boulders And your shoulders are cliffs But your head keeps rolling off And your spine, it is weak From the weight on your shoulders And from difference of opinion There's a song you hear on the radio It's a funeral march so you change the channel But it's all you hear As you're driving up the 101 from Mexico to California Yeah, there's no snow, yeah when you're looking for your sweethearts There's no snow when you're looking for your answers Yeah, you're, you're the kind to hide your eyes from the sun And in your world the strong survive But I won't take my body down Yeah, by the time they get your letter of explanation You'll be dead and gone, barking up a new tree And eyeing up some new friends And scaring off the families, while tidying up your loose ends Chasing squirrels around your property Making sure that they know that this is your kingdom And nothing will stop it, yeah, nothing will stop it If nothing can stop it, yeah, nothing will stop it And you're, you're the kind to hide your eyes from the sun And in your world the strong survive But would you lay your body down Yes, and now, now's the time to wrap your ears around the sounds Of your train coming 'round But you will have to lay everything down
