lyrics

she lives in a cherry tree
right outside her house
the place she calls her home
she never knows the words
to any of his songs
but she always sings along

he follows her where she goes
in the supermarket aisle
they'd exchange a smile
but she never knows his name
despite seeing him twice a day
it keeps him insecure

you can't undo
what you did to break this
and what it takes to make it new

you can't trace it... it's always changing
all your faces... keep re-arranging
you can't fake it... it's all your making
there's no stasis... not worth escaping

around we go... with heads on a cable

she moved back inside her house
now that her cherry tree is gone
collapsed out in the yard
and she never could explain
why she never saw him again
didn't know that she axed him dead
