Produced by Calvin Johnson

Lyrics

Burnt Orange Peel

Long ago things to be Ive got a garden hose and a color tv I've got time on my hands I've got time on my hands Nobody cares what i do Long ago things to do I've got a burnt orange peel and a potato stew I've got work to get done I've got work to get done Nobody knows where to run I've got a quart of milk and some sound advice I've got trees to drink But they smell so nice Don't give me the flu Nobody knows I'm with you Back and forth I dodge a fly Like a feather in the sky Write me out a check Give me all your cash Nobody knows, so just go home
