lyrics

Empty lot flowers are blooming
purple trumpets and white spots soothing
but I've got to keep my feet moving
or I'll be face down on the street swooning

Because I love dirt
I love kicking broken bottles through the city
and if I get hurt
then I wont' need all that respect you gave me
but I won't stay safe
refuse to learn from my mistakes
and if my words quake
then I'll just kick my life right in the fucking face

i wish to sleep underneath those wet weeds
I would defeat any thief who could catch me
when my eyelids kiss
I'll be lost like this
until the police come to get me.

Because I love dirt
I love kicking broken bottles through the city
and if I get hurt
then I wont' need all that respect you gave me
but I won't stay safe
refuse to learn from my mistakes
and if my words quake
then I'll just kick my life right in the fucking face
