Lyrics

The Day Statues Broke

For sale sign on your favorite dumpster

Hills so huge it's hard to tell

I hope you don't get your nice hands dirty when you jump her

The burning bushes that couldn't sell

That couldn't sell

That couldn't sell

That you couldn't sell

Shelly got lucky, her warnings wouldn't sell

Forgive me for shining the light

But your memorial

Your memorial

Your memorial

Your memorial

Just fell

It just fell

Your memorial just fell

Your memorial just fell

Never got your genius stature

Pretty stupid little feeble mind

And you figured they would build you a statue

And my titles smashed and gone it says

On the crooked, crooked line

Crooked line

Crooked line

Crooked line

Shelly got lucky, her warnings wouldn't sell

Forgive me for stepping on you

But your memorial

Your memorial

Your memorial

Your memorial

Just fell

It just fell

Your memorial just fell

Your memorial just fell

All the pieces that you couldn't sell

Your memorial just fell

All the bits you wouldn't tell

Your memorial just fell

But you can just go to hell

Your memorial just fell

Your memorial just fell

Your memorial just fell

Your memorial just fell
