Willow Tree Lyrics by Monkey Jacket

Four Twenty-Three

2008

[Intro]
Underneath the willow tree
That is where they talked of me
Sharing all that they've come from
If half a brain you heard the stories
Sure that it would bring you worries
How could anyone be so numb?

[Verse 1]
Just in time, a simple boy
He made me pick up all my toys
I would be nothing, but I'll never say
Too many excuses left that I can play
Glad I've got my friends on call
So superficial, there's nothing wrong at all (Nothing wrong at all)

[Refrain]
Underneath the willow tree
That is where they once talked of mе

[Verse 2]
Face to face, I am so friendly
Lеnding out plastic personalities
I'm too good, he can't drop me
I'll drop myself before anybody sees
I've got a reputation to hold up
Babe, my big fat head's in the way (fat head's in the way)

[Refrain]
Underneath the willow tree
That's where they once talked of me

[Verse 3]
Chuck me out the window as you please
I'll come crawling don't worry about me
Leader, leader, lead me by the hand
Blindfold me, I'm just your biggest fan
Like a dog who's beaten with a clothes hanger
'Cause I've got to keep eating

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Underneath the tree, that's where
They once talked of me, that's where
Underneath the tree, that's where

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Underneath the willow tree
There is still a part of me
Hearing everything you've said
Rising from your grassy pillow
Realizing this weeping willow
Is weeping for you, weeping for you
Weeping for you and the loss
Of your head
What do you have to say?

[Outro]
I'll never tell a secret again
Won't not admit I was wrong until the end
Gotta play it smooth like I am your friend
Just don't take my head
If my words don't mean nothin'
Your words don't mean nothin' too
Your legs, they don't do nothin'
I think we're onto something
