lyrics
Finding footsteps in the garden
Deja vu from your lost fortune
Tell me the tale of the ogre
Little Dixie ogre
Dreams under lookout mountain
Of a mouth full of stars
And swallowing the sun
So he takes up his shotgun
And fires at the sky
And after just barely missing
That’s where rainbows come from
You dream of the middle
A second to breath in
Not stuck on the bottom
But still lookin up
The seven eleven
Where the cars are all parking
The sirens are whining
The lights are all spinning
The drawer and a hostage
It didn’t cost nothing
You’re turning the lights out
You’re taking a second
The red laser pointer
The chopper annointed
They’ve covered the exits
They tell you to end this
You look at the youngest
You look at the oldest
You tell them to lock hands
With you in the middle
You zip tie your fingers
You zip tie your ankles
You walk out in sorrow
You walk out in anger
You whisper you promise
No one is in danger
Tennessee pulls up
He opens the back seat
He says not to worry
Nobody can see me
He drives away quickly
Bound for I-20
He says it’s all over
And you are my ogre
Deja vu from your lost fortune
Tell me the tale of the ogre
Little Dixie ogre
Dreams under lookout mountain
Of a mouth full of stars
And swallowing the sun
So he takes up his shotgun
And fires at the sky
And after just barely missing
That’s where rainbows come from
You dream of the middle
A second to breath in
Not stuck on the bottom
But still lookin up
The seven eleven
Where the cars are all parking
The sirens are whining
The lights are all spinning
The drawer and a hostage
It didn’t cost nothing
You’re turning the lights out
You’re taking a second
The red laser pointer
The chopper annointed
They’ve covered the exits
They tell you to end this
You look at the youngest
You look at the oldest
You tell them to lock hands
With you in the middle
You zip tie your fingers
You zip tie your ankles
You walk out in sorrow
You walk out in anger
You whisper you promise
No one is in danger
Tennessee pulls up
He opens the back seat
He says not to worry
Nobody can see me
He drives away quickly
Bound for I-20
He says it’s all over
And you are my ogre
