There is always someplace safer than the playground
So lets walk to our private beach at night
We could always roll these drums down the sand dunes
Into the surf and continue to think that theyre safe, sealed up tight, up tight


Ill be gone before the things that I do now go wrong
Family tree is burning to heat my house a little longer


Bobbing up and down in the waves with the moonbeams
They shine like turtles backs in bleach and I,
I hope that theyll be sinking soon under the seaweed
Cause inside the atoms are moving and helping the fish grow extra eyes


Ill be gone before the things that I do now go wrong
Family tree is burning to heat my house a little longer
To heat my house a little longer


Ill be gone before the things that I go now go wrong
Family tree is burning to heat my house a little longer
To heat the house a little longer


Now that all the poisons taken off our red hands
Its percolating in the deep blue dump
Well be counting pay cheques, with all the zeros
Mother of nature has gone to the doc for a test, shes found a lump


Ill be gone before the things that I do now go wrong
Family tree is burning to heat the house a little longer


Ill be gone before the things that I do now go wrong
Family tree is burning to heat the house a little longer
Well move on to planets where we dont belong
Family tree is burning the rockets waiting on the lawn
The rockets waiting on the lawn
