Lyrics
The holy detail is up in flames
we'll all be sinners unless it rains
the people screaming don't see the truth
that's painted yellow upon the roof

I'm not your lover scratched on her face
the situation is losing grace
if death is painless but not the end
it's just beginning to be your friend

Life ain't so bad in the trees
I throw my worries to the breeze
so don't come up here unless you like it slow
it's just that kind of of show

Too much too early has killed enough
the deals are easy and off the cuff  (in Matthew's notebook: 'the deals are shady, the games are rough')
Inhaler Cindy suffered that fate
although her novels were not that great

Force the races together said the chief
that will not work, said the Czar, there's too much beef
They'll burn the churches and take your wives
and watch the children, they carry knives

Life ain't so bad in the trees
I throw my worries to the breeze
so don't come up here unless you like it slow
it's just that kind of of show
