Lyrics

[Verse 1] Limits of the rivers Sideways-sliding to the south Rounding out the boundary Of the plain [Verse 2] Darkening the carpet At the far end of the house Summer spurred a seizure In my brain [Refrain] Ambulances came [Chorus 1] Weaving a whinin' siren down the highway Leaving a smilin' silence in your life, babe And even your sharin'-cherry-cola mind Fragile as an eggshell Eggshell [Verse 3] Buried me, remarried You were barely getting by Just you two 'n' a justice Of the peace [Verse 4] Split out to the city You were really getting tired Of finding what Reminded you of me [Refrain] But the kids you had to keep [Chorus 2] Doing their best impression of the dead, babe Leaving a smilin' silence in your best days Resembling every memory you have left Up in your sharin'-cherry-cola head Fragile as an eggshell Eggshell
