Over the Garden Wall
over the garden wall
deconstruction of smaller parts
we're breaking it down once more
with shorter skirts and faster cars
we are filing for divorce
out through the window
to fly or to fall
will we land on our feet
over the garden wall...
moral compass is all askew
it's hard to tell wrong from right
pushing forward we get confused
now don't you cheat on my wife
shake off your slumber
abandon the dream
wilfully wander to
a place I've never been
the time has come to do or die
to give the devil his due
your eyes have died two thousand times
as each one has lived a thousand lives
each one, as each one
each one has lived a thousand lives
I'm not complaining
it's par for the course that's all
there's plenty to see
over the garden wall...

I write songs that should also stand alone as poetry.
I hope this inspires courage.
