lyrics

You should have been able to tell right then
I can't stop when I know what's best
The layers were peeling in yellow paint piles
My room became a dusty mess.

Who knew about you? I don't think I knew
The summer rain ruined the wall.
None of my bedroom furniture warned me
About you or rainstorms at all.

Bronxy Marie, you're down by the river
But how can your bronx garden grow?
With songwriters singing under your trees
Like vegetables all in a row.

Can you tell me which one of us is living
The correct American dream?
It seems that you cannot even discern
A smocking stitch from a straight seam.

Either way, it's a fabrication
A quilt that your grandmommy stitched
She's sewing the states onto the outlined nation
A comfort that no one sleeps with.

The last bitch was born when the first one was done.
Because of this action the battle was won.
The last bitch is sure that the first one is numb.
She's wailing and moaning from under my thumb.

I'm squeezing a flashlight in between my teeth
It's because of this that I'm able to see
Your bitch is a devil with an angel's grin
She's waiting for you on the head of a pin.

Bronxy Marie, you're down by the river
But how can your bronx garden grow?
With songwriters singing under your trees
Like vegetables all in a row

Construction of a Champ

Nan's a genius and I moved back to NY after college mostly for this reason. I had the pleasure of playing drums in her One Nite Stands band for many shows. Thanks Nan for being a huge inspiration. Yoko O.K.
