Rabbit

[Verse 1]

Standing in the lawn, in his faded blues

Watching the stars like dust off the moon

Blackbeard, Captain Kidd

Sailing around his head in a plastic ship

His mind used to wander off so far

But it always came back before dark

All around the valley, couldn't be fenced in

Was no place that had him bound

[Chorus]

Layin' in his bedroom, staring at the ceiling

Watching clovers brush the ankles of a long-legged lady

Thinkin' about where Dad's buyin' empty chairs

Sitting with everything that he's been needing to hear

[Verse 2]

Threw up the night when he swallowed the sun

Stuck his hand in his mouth and pulled out a song

Wonderеd how he could get to space

Riding in a rabbit in thе far right lane

Walkin' down Higgins looking for his hat

Wandered off so far now it won't come back

Lost the chick, lost the dog

Lost himself, put a hole in the wall

[Chorus]

Layin' in his bedroom, staring at the ceiling

Watching clovers brush the ankles of a long-legged lady

Thinkin' about where Dad's buyin' empty chairs

Sitting with everything that he's been needing to hear

[Outro]

Now his mind is kept on such a short leash

Can't even dream a dream

Walkin' with a limp that isn't even his

Lookin' like a turtle in a shirt too big

Standing in the lawn in his faded blues

Watching the stars like dust off the moon

Blackbear, Captain Kidd

Sailin' around his head in a plastic ship
