lyrics

If thoughts were seeds
And kisses were weeds
I'd have quite a contentious garden, pardon me

So you bury down deep
A shallow sense of pride
And pollenate with playground hate
We bloom lies

Feel you here
Friends are near
Brother has a spade that mother forbade
Never dig up a shadow
Reel it in, reel it in, reel it in

You got a haircut and a suit
And a practiced walking gate
But you can't hide your father's eyes
Son of fate

As this is one of many plans
That have often turned around
We keep our kin tuned up a third
Safe and sound

Feel you here
Friends are near
Brother has a spade that mother forbade
Never dig up a shadow
Reel it in, reel it in, reel it in
