Fire on Campus

Look at all the smoke
There was a fire on campus
Did you hear?
Have you heard?
Some people are worried about all the archives
And some
About birds

Drivin' 'round the bend
We saw the burnt mountain
And a gate, open
Before a ranger chased us
We saw harmless field mice
And took sticks of charcoal

Let me and my pillow
Window on the sea
Give me a Panado
Rescue Remedy
Tears in my cortado
From a crocodile
Let me have my sunlight
Before I go on trial

Before I go on trial

A sleeping marble lion
He is the café guardian
Though his life
Is a dream
He knows the past and future
And I think he'd devour us
If we set him free

Among the hanging plants
I go through unread emails
And your name
Appears

I'm sorry I've taken so long
To reply
It's just been a crazy couple years

Some people change
Some people carry on
I wanna carry on
I wanna change
Oh
I'd rather be sad than enraged
A saint before a sage

A sleeping marble lion
Doesn't miss a thing
Knows when you are trying
When you're pretending
Tears on a pillow
This time they are real
Salt is in the wound now
Maybe it will heal
Maybe it will heal
