What about the TV screen? What about the undeveloped cameras? Maybe should bury these What about the last of the good ones? What about the ceiling fans? What if we moved back to New York? What about the moondrop light? You should take it, cuz I'm not gonna take it You should take it, I'm only gonna break it You should take it, cuz I'm not gonna take it You should take it, you should take it What about the rainbow eucalyptus? What about the instruments? What about the Cowboy Junkies? What about the Afghan Whigs? What about the Mountain Valley Spring? What about the ornaments? What if I reinvented again?
