A Piano

The king and queen of many things

But not the cuckoo's colored wings

They laughed at me and everything

Around the land that lay so barren

I still wonder if they're laughing

In the dark with folded hands

And swollen choreographed speeches

Read the cards and we will teach you

How to see through the looking glass

And how to fight a thousand deaths

And come out sober

And blame you for nothing

I headed for the mountains

And I walked up to the great green trees

But they just stared right back at me

Said I could stay there through my pain

And learn to make my tears the rain

But branches there would still remain

You must be tough to be a tree

To take the claws of winter and breeze

You'll love him more than you will know

You'll fight a war and kiss a man

You'll take the long way back to him

I can move out west and buy a piano

I can move out west and buy a piano

I can move out west and buy a piano

I can move out west and buy a piano
