Orphan Anthem ’86 (demo) Lyrics by Fair to Midland

Inter.Funda.Stifle

2007

[Intro]
We're gone but not better
A lighted match can burn the cabin down he built
It's not long but it matters
Your suit and tie are much too tight in Farmersville
[Verse 1]
My daughter's a goldmine
Combing the hair of the white waves
A fountain of sapphires
Under the bridges of Utah
Instilled in us ethics not by God, but by our choice
I can't even imagine, but I can see it
[Chorus]
Tell them all to chop me off
With left-hand scissors rusting when you're touched
On marble-covered mountains
You're the brimstone
[Verse 2]
When surrounded by comfort cotton floors are of no use
We see in our forecast what we lack in our pockets
Encompassed by standards and we give ourselves all the credit
I can't put my finger on it, but I can see it
[Chorus 2]
Tell them all to chalk me out
With oval arms and hopscotch eyelids
On marble-covered mountains
You're my cargo
[Bridge x2]
We're gone but not better
A lighted match can burn the cabin down he built
It's not long but it matters
Your suit and tie are much too tight in Farmersville
[Chorus]
Tell them all to chop me off
With left-hand scissors rusting when you're touched
On marble-covered mountains
You're the brimstone
[Chorus 2]
Tell them all to chalk me out
With oval arms and hopscotch eyelids
On marble-covered mountains
You're my cargo
[Chorus]
Tell them all to chop me off
With left-hand scissors rusting when you're touched
On marble-covered mountains
You're the brimstone
