The longest island I have ever seen
So long ago it seems just like a dream
A mountain valley of emerald green
One day it slips away, away from me
Well, I can tell you stories
About the the distant places
The vultures in the branches
And leafy dragon faces
The quiet and the voices
The music in the basement
The memories like melodies
The phoney songs of home
The biggest asshole I have ever known
So big his asshole mind became my own
He broke the gate and never came back home
But now he calls me all day on the phone
I'm not at home, I'm all alone
Well, I can tell you stories
About the the distant places
The vultures in the branches
And leafy dragon faces
The quiet and the voices
The music in the basement
The memories like melodies
The phoney songs of home
