CROOKED OLD EARTH feat. Belle Plaine (3:45)
written by Melanie Hankewich and Blake J Berglund (SOCAN/ASCAP)

lyrics

Missing kids and aeroplanes
Anxiety and hurricanes
Locusts swarm across the plaines
Like we said they would
Whales littering the beach
Needles wash up on the streets
And you can make love to a computer screen
For six-ninety-nine a month

It's just a trip straight to the grave from the day of our birth
I wouldn't wish my enemy to this Crooked Old Earth

Alcohol and broken homes
The illusions of what we own
We used up all the dinosaur bones
In cars that we can't fix
At the alter of the TV stand
The puppets live in government
Well country sucks and Buddy Holly's dead
May the Starman cross quick

When we all come back around and it still just spins the same
I'll wait it out in another realm until something has changed

Bank or broke, kind or cruel
Innocent of black and blue
In the end she comes for you
