The Earth Keeps Its Secrets

Lyrics

On the way home I was nearly dead Crushed in the solar plexus of midnight Me and my tired fists for a bowl of rice, for a quiet night We would marry twice Oh the bravery of the shrinking girl Showing a tiny finger to ageing Stood by the fruit machines in a yellow light with a tin of tongue For the animals For the animals In 1997 she learned about sex On a visit to a tanning booth And four years later her skirt is completely flawless But she'd rather be a child again In 2005 she was buried alive by her money, good looks and soul And two hours latеr her brother discoverеd the body Under boxes and boxes and boxes and boxes and boxes (Tulips are the price of progress) (Tulips are the price of progress) (Tulips are the price of progress) (Tulips are the price of progress)
