The Minus 5 - The Old PlantationLyrics

The old plantation has been abandoned The love is gone yeah the love is gone New hieroglyphics braid the columns Kids on the M-Train baptize the lawns Your floating jukebox stuck on "I'll get you" So lost at sea yeah so lost at sea You watch the rations you man the spyglass So far from Memphis rivers from me. But did you ever really try To peel away the sky Neither did I The master bedroom its shutters hanging It's no museum it's no museum The fields are barren but for a bonfire A pile of empties in the mausoleum But did you ever really try To peel away the sky Neither did I God bless the shelter so bruised and battered God bless the days yeah god bless the days The old plantation is like a sore now A home for maggots but don't turn away Don't turn away until you try To peel away the sky Don't turn away until you try To peel away the sky
