( verses ) with your first dangling glimpse of sophie lavendore best hold tight to your reigns before your fall dust yourself off from the ash pit face cold ground level names etched in his garden wall ( iodine and four sips then tossed to the interstate ) new apricots pulled loose as left babies clinging to water meter pipes in phoenix sun watch she drops each one in a shoe box for granddad's marmalade your bruised heart comes undone ( iodine and four sips then tossed to the interstate ) ( chorus ) our time shot by like wayward fourth of july discount roman candles with the shortest fuse couldn't help but stare into her cornmeal hair as she stewped naked to tie your shakin' boot ( verses ) when last call to sophie cuts from the pistol start by old man lavendore at thirty three sophie will clear weeds for your fresh spot in his proud garden wall staring blank as your dream ( iodine and four sips meet us at the reckoning gate ) ( bridge ) sophie's birth quite different from any last midnight star held captive without bond in the belly of a telescope fashioned from bicycle parts fifteen headin' for fifty eight sifted in and outta daddy's mind sophie dances on salamander souls as viewed through forever train's lambskin blinds ( iodine and sips of four persimmon in your kisses from sophie lavendore ) ( repeat chorus )
