Frazzle - Jewish Boys Lyrics

The jewish boys smoke Parliament cigarettes
And drip sweet sweat through their white collared shirts
Boys how great is it to breathe in the fresh city air?
Maybe its time we learned to crochet our own sweaters
Let our friends go out and play
The light at the end of the tunnel has dimmed
The world is a rush I'm not listening
Soles on shoes ware off, colors fade
The silence grows louder each passing day

I came across the boy late one summer
The little girl screamed when she saw her brother
His soul red and in the hands of another
The bird begins to fall off the cliff
She forgot how to fly and enjoys the abyss

We enjoy picking flowers when the air is hot
Poppies, peonies, dear forget me not
When I go away and I leave you behind
We all laugh cause we ignored all the signs

Mary left her soul to soak in the sun
And came back to find it when the day was done
She washed all their pots and cleaned all your clothes
Mary dreams of a world she'll never get to know

We ran quickly to the store at the end of the block
We were hungry and tired and parched
We drank diet soda and watched the TV
The man behind the counter was side eyeing me

Outside we were informed of a terrible crash
A man was standing with a bloody gash
And it was running down his face and into the street
And then we went out on a shopping spree

We enjoy picking flowers when the air is hot
Poppies, peonies, dear forget me not
When I go away and I leave you behind
We all laugh cause we ignored all the signs

We shoveled snow when we were cold
And a man came by in his yellow rain coat
Well he wanted help with his annual taxes
And we said yes cause he was brave enough to ask us

We sat down in a doughnut shop
Well the tables were sticky and grainy and hot
When he smiled he was missing a tooth
Well we're not good at math but we did what we could do

We enjoy picking flowers when the air is hot
Poppies, peonies, dear forget me not
When I go away and I leave you behind
We all laugh cause we ignored all the signs
