lyrics

Here stand at the fool's attention
Had the courtesy to kill some time
Had a hand in glowing tension
I set the bone and I crossed the line

I know, I know
Your daddy don't wanna tell you so
I know, I know
Your daddy don't wanna tell you
And your mama don't wanna know

You are a friend of mine
I've got yours and you've gone blind
There's a rabbit outruns the day
Where the pauper plagues the pine
But the wilderwood won't stay in the green lines

Took the town like a ghost ship sunset
Felt the fire like '29
Headstand on the fool's convention
A-hopped to and I jumped the line

I know, I know
The best guns are running the country show
I know, I know
The best looking hills are taken
And the rest are just there for show

This rabbit's had his day
In hedgerows, meadows, May
If you mow it down to an inch
And throw a thistle to the finch
We could will the wood to stay in the green lines
The wilderwood won't stay in the green lines
The wilderwood won't stay in the green lines
