You found a sweater on the ocean floor
They’re gonna find it if you didn’t close the door
You and the smart ones sit outside of their sight
In a house on a street they wouldn’t park on at night
Dad was a risk-taker
His was a shoemaker
You, greatest hits 2006 little list-maker,
Heard codes in the melodies
You heeded the call
You were born with ten fingers and you’re gonna use em all
Interesting colors I discovered myself
If your art life is gritty, you’ll be toasting my health
If an interest in culture should be lining the wall,
When your birthright is interest you could just accrue it all
Me and my cousins and
You and your cousins
It's a line that’s always running
Me and my cousins and
You and your cousins
I can feel it coming
You could turn your back on the bitter world
Me and my cousins and
You and your cousins
It’s a line that’s always running
Me and my cousins and
You and your cousins
I can feel it coming
