Trophies

Lyrics

I went to the warehouse To trade in my trophies They scratch off the name And they buff up the plates And then put the blank bodies Back up in the window Awaiting engraving Of winners and dates It's so nice to see you Hey...hey, don't I know you? Tender green shoots of you Grow through the yard Medals hung heavy My neck wouldn't let me So I gave 'em up good Though the giving was hard I went to the warehouse To trade in my trophies Trumpets and ribbons My trove and its trimmings And it's so nice to see you! Hey...hey, don't I know you? How good it feels here in this place Pass up the goal for the view now Something opens up I take in space
