We met dragging Main at Spanish Fork.
And he wasn't moving away from here, so it wasn't really—
And we could build a house here. But—
Hope'll set your eyes agleam
We met dragging Main at Spanish Fork.
And he wasn't moving away from here, so it wasn't really—
And we could build a house here. But—
Hope'll set your eyes agleam
Like four feet dangling in the stream
But the Kingdom of God, it's a pressure machine
Every step, gotta keep it clean
A mattress on a hardwood floor
Who could ever ask for more?
I'll get up and cut the grass
Ain't nothing wrong with working class
[Chorus]
I, I don't remember the last time you asked how I was
Don't you feel the time slipping away?
It ain't funny at all
It's gonna break your heart one day
[Verse 2]
Keep the debt cloud off the kids
Only sunshine on their lids
Jiminy Cricket and Power Wheels
And memories of Happy Meals
Sometimes I look at the stars
And think about how small we are
Sweating it out in the pressure machine
Good till the last drop
[Chorus]
Why don't you say little things?
Butterflies don't just dance on a string
It feels like you clipped all their wings
And every year goes by faster than the one before
[Verse 3]
We've had that treadmill now for months
I think she might've used it once
If I shut my mouth and keep the peace
She'll cook my eggs in bacon grease
Life'll grow you a big red rose
Then rip it from beneath your nose
Run it through the pressure machine
And spit you out a name tag memory
[Instrumental]
Upoznali smo povlačenjem glavnog u španjolskoj vilici.
I nije se odmaknuo odavde, tako da nije stvarno-
I mogli bismo graditi kuću ovdje. Ali-
Nadam se da će postaviti oči agleam
Kao četiri noge koje vise u potoku
Ali kraljevstvo Božje, to je stroj za pritisak
Svaki korak, moraš ga čistiti
Madrac na tvrdom pod
Tko bi ikada mogao tražiti više?
Ustajem i izrezao travu
Nije ništa loše u radnoj klasi
[Chorus]
Ja, ne sjećam se kad si zadnji put pitao kako sam bio
Zar ne osjećaš da vrijeme klizi?
Uopće nije smiješno
Jednog dana će vam slomiti srce
[Stih 2]
Držite dug oblak s djece
Samo sunce na njihovim poklopcima
Jiminy kriket i moćni kotači
I uspomene na sretne obroke
Ponekad gledam zvijezde
I razmislite o tome koliko smo mali
Znojeći ga u tlačnom stroju
Dobra do zadnjeg pada
[Chorus]
Zašto ne kažeš male stvari?
Leptiri ne plešu samo na nizu
Osjećaš se kao da ste odjavili sva svoja krila
I svake godine ide brže od one prije
[Stih 3]
Imali smo to treadmill sada mjesecima
Mislim da je to možda koristila jednom
Ako zatvorim usta i zadržao mir
Kuhat će moja jaja u masti slanine
Život će vam rasti velika crvena ruža
Zatim ga povucite ispod nosa
Pokrenite ga kroz stroj za pritisak
I ispljunite mi memoriju oznake imena
[Instrumental]
