Sirens Songtext
von Hop Along

The good people built those houses with their hands
And taught their daughters to play on tin drum sets
While an old man put a grandkid on the piano
And they played chopsticks until their hands went dead
And cats were thrown off the backs
Of trucks and ambled up the yard to us
Singing all I want is a bed to lie in, loving arms for me to die in

And the garbage man took the cans he can with Mrs. Van Holzer
If he wants to, no he can′t, no he can't ′cause he's a married man
And if Mr. Van Holzer found out, with his short temper
You know what he will do?
And she was singing true

The garbage man's the only one can dance real blue
And pretty soon the fire trucks and ambulance were singing too

They were singing
They were singing


So if you move out west it′s best to
Keep a very close eye on your kids and pets
′Cause big birds have been known to dive
And carry those precious things to heavy heights
And drop them in a field
Where sad sisters all come down to kneel
And hold their hands to their hearts
They've learned to lock all of the things they love up
Yeah they were crying

They all were lying in the fields
They were singing
From the places where they kneeled
Yeah, they were singing
Yeah, they were singin

They were singing
They were singing

Someone in my head said "When all you have is land
Things with wings can present themselves as a pretty big damn threat"
"When all you have is land
Things with wings can present themselves as a pretty big damn threat"
"When all you have is land
Things with wings can present themselves as a pretty big damn threat"
"When all you have is land
Things with wings can present themselves as a pretty big damn threat"

And the garbage man, and the ambulance
Oh, loving sisters, tin drum sets
Married women and their men
They all were singing


They were singing
They were singing
