How We Quit the Forest
The Ostrich and the Egret
Had a very fine flat to let.
Figurine hutch, no the place
Wasn't much but they got a Peacock.
His belongings were meager but,
He was pretty, would bring good luck.
They would sing songs all around the piano and do the cakewalk.
He would say what he's gonna do.
He would say what he wanted to.
Ostrich and Egret were filled with regret, but the
Rent's well worth him.
He felt things they'd never felt.
Like the slap of a feather belt.
So still they sit by a fireplace silent.
A chill ran through him.
Ostrich and Egret and Peacock had very small dreams.
Thinking of them just reminds me of calender scenes.
Nobody's laughing when everyone's weeping, it seems.
So that's How We Quit the Forest.
The scene wasn't what it used to be.
The scene is never what it used to be.
So, that's How We Quit the Forest.
So that's How We Quit the Forest.
The scene wasn't what it used to be.
The scene is never what it used to be.
So, that's How We Quit the Forest.
