Joshua Tree in the Headphones

[Verse 1]
I used to be a patriot
New England family portrait
Wood panel walls and shag carpet
Hot chocolate suicide

[Chorus]
That was so many lifetimes ago
And I still remember your house
Mice in the traps
Wood on the stove
You and me stoned
Joshua Tree in the headphones

[Verse 2]
Now I can't see those bad movies
Not anything from the seventies
They bring me back to everything
I'd rather not recall

[Chorus]
That was so many lifetimes ago
And I still remember your house
Mice in the traps
Wood on the stove
You and me stoned
Joshua Tree in the headphones

[Bridge]
I'm so far out
I'm so far out now
Too far to swim back to forgotten shores
'Forgot' is a lie; I'm just too tired to swim
In those waters no more

[Verse 3]
I told my sons the story of
Those shells we found, the treasure trove
You and me and the frogs we loved
High school princes, oh

[Chorus]
That was so many lifetimes ago
And I still remember your house
Mice in the traps
Wood on the stove
You and me stoned
Joshua Tree in the headphones
