Copper Leaves

We all abused you threw you on the tracks
And stood with baited brain
A simple thrill to kill the boredom of
A wasted summer day

Now they're showin' you the door

One hundred years and fifty more
These cold machines punched out your leaves
And though your aspirations soared
The sidewalk would not take your seed

Now they're showin' you the door

I think we'll find it hard
I think we'll find it hard
I think we'll find it hard
To walk without your rattlin' bones

The story broke a year ago
An echo was the only one who screamed
"God save me from this fate"
Oh darlin, I just can't believe

Now they're showin' you the door

I think we'll find it hard
I think we'll find it hard
I think we'll find it hard
To walk without your rattlin' bones

We can't afford to keep the change
We can't afford to keep the change
We can't afford to keep the change
We can't afford to keep the change

We all abused you threw you on
The tracks, and stood with bated brain
A simple thrill to kill
The boredom of a wasted summer day

Now they're showin' you the door

I think we'll find it hard
I think we'll find it hard
I think we'll find it hard
To walk without your rattlin' bones
To walk without your rattlin' bones
To walk without your rattlin' bones
