Half Price Planets

Saw a flyer at the laundromat "Half price planets This weekend only" Crayon stars and a crooked map Guess the universe is running a sale on me I grabbed my coat and an extra bag Left my socks in the whirlin' machines If dreams are cheap I might buy two One for us One just for emergencies [Pre-Chorus] Line around the block Kids with cardboard rockets Old man with a shopping cart Full of pocket comets Half price planets Everything must go I'll take the small blue one That spins a little slow Half price planets Ring it up in gold If it comes with you on it I don't care how old Half price planets Yeah That's my kind of deal A tiny tilted world Where it finally feels real (oh yeah) Guy at the counter wears a cape Says "You want storms or summer skies?" I say "Give me all the weather I’m tired of living only in my head’s sunrise" We test the gravity in aisle three I float up You laugh Pull me down by the sleeve You circle "fragile" on my receipt Say "Handle your heart how you handle these" Boxes full of moons Marked as slightly dented Galaxies in bubble wrap Barely even rented Half price planets Everything must go I'll take the small blue one That spins a little slow Half price planets Ring it up in gold If it comes with you on it I don't care how old Half price planets Yeah That's my kind of deal A tiny tilted world Where it finally feels real We walk home holding our paper sky Rain starts poking tiny holes Stars leak out on the sidewalk You say "Guess we bought it used You know" Half price planets Everything must go I'll take the small blue one That spins a little slow Half price planets Ring it up in gold If it comes with you on it I don't care how old Half price planets Scan it Stamp it Steal A tiny tilted world Where it finally feels real (hey!)
