Thanks for the Dress

John Darnielle

[Intro: rapid succession of spoken samples]
He'll still be like...
...so good. She has...
...needing us...
...tell you about personal testimony
Please keep feeding us

[Verse 1]
The young sun
The old story forming
Hasn't been the same
Since dad came by this morning

[Refrain 1]
Did you see the way mom's looking at us
Mark it well

[Verse 2]
Your eyes meet mine
When we hear her call
The strange birds in the yard
A portrait of the symbols that she painted on the garden wall

[Refrain 2]
Did you see the way mom's looking at us
Did you see the way mom's looking at us
Don't say anything
