Artist: Bound Stems

album: The Family Afloat


Do you recall the best years of your life? Well we try, well we try, well we try. Every man has a past, and she now seems content because she's moving to London to be with her kids...
When you were away, I started over again. (When you were away, I started over again!) Well, I'll worry about what my father's going to say when he comes home from work. I can take it--
--take it in a Midwest town with the family intact. We went to Catholic school, the military brats. We stayed outside all night with our loafers all scuffed; the loosened-up ties, the neighborhood toughs. We weren't alone much, and Sundays were hell, but if we made it back from church my brother promised to tell. He said, "Boy, how could you say it? How could you say it?"

"Welcome to our home, please excuse the mess--"
"...But they left it like that last night." Bop bop bop bop ba...
I've been keeping this family afloat for years.
We lie asleep in our homes. The evening train goes by, I pull the covers up close. We can hide all night. We lie asleep. In our homes the evening train goes by. I pull the covers up. Close, we can hide all night. We lie! Asleep in our homes, the evening, train goes, goes by. Covers up close, we could hide all! All night asleep in our homes, the evening train ghost goes by, covers up, we can hide all. All night the evening train goes by...
