We found a house we can afford It's in Olive, New York There's a life that we could lead Garden plots and chosen poverty Sky Above our lives Sky Above our lives Three bedrooms with a small porch A walk to the reservoir, a perch in the cedars But too far from anyone we know And we're already so lonely I stare at the star card, wincing Morning glories wrapped along the railing American dreaming, American fiending Each day we tell ourselves "This is it, we're living, I love you" And it's all tеmporary, the myth of temporality I part my hair in the middle now, like my mother did in the '70s If I could stand in the night, dig my bare feet in the grass With only the sky to know me Sky Above our lives Sky Above our lives Sky Above our lives Sky Above our lives We can't, we shouldn't We can't, we shouldn't In my dreams I'm lost, I'm trespassing Screaming at politicians Staring at mansions underwater Standing in houses without ceilings Ear on your chest, I rest We watch our cat watch the snow Will the day to slow Will to be whole
