My coffee tastes like pennies in a paper cup The bedroom fan keeps chopping the morning up And when I open my eyes, I can barely look up I can barely look up Hey now Something in the drainpipe Hey now Something still survives Who left the engine running in my garage? Who filled the hallway up with copper jars? I brush my teeth with the bathroom's dark And spit little comets around the mark Some days I move like a stolen cart One bad wheel on a busted heart Still, by the fence where the rainwater sours Something keeps making flowers Something keeps making flowers Hey now Something in the drainpipe Hey now Something still survives Wildflower growing by the loading bay Fed by diesel rain and a runaway main No one planted you, no one cleared the stones You came up crooked through the traffic cones Wildflower under the billboard light Open in the cracks at the edge of night I lost all hope, I sure ain't brave Just a little yellow thing that wouldn't behave Hey now Something in the drainpipe Hey now Something still survives Wildflower growing by the loading bay Fed by diesel rain and a runaway main No one planted you, no one cleared the stones You came up crooked through the traffic cones Wildflower under the billboard light Open in the cracks at the edge of night I lost all hope, I sure ain't brave Just a little yellow thing that wouldn't behave Black socks on the radiator Mouthwash, batteries, unpaid bills A fly keeps hitting the kitchen window I know exactly how that feels No revelation in the shower No clean break or trumpet sound Just my hand on the cold front door And both feet touching ground And both feet touching ground
