Picking some daisiesWeaving a crownOnly


Picking some daisies

Weaving a crown

Only to rule 

Over nobody 

 

Squatting in alleys 

A car drives by

I couldn’t hear

What did they say to me

 

I need to escape

From my ghost town I call a

Kingdom they wont let me leave

The tumbleweeds are chaining me down

 

Up to my ankles

I wade through the water

I don’t have

Anywhere else to be

 

The eerie call 

of the ice cream truck

I can’t think it’s

Trying to brainwash me

 

I need to escape

From my ghost town I call a

Kingdom they wont let me leave

The tumbleweeds are chaining me down
