Shamrock

[Verse 1]
Shamrock in the grass
Poor unfortunate clover
Feet will beat you flat
Engines will mow you over
Maybe you should take a long last backwards glance
Maybe you should find a pot, grow up to be a houseplant
Before they pull the roots at last, and take the shirt off your back

[Pre-Chorus 1]
There will be no need for you to pack belongings
There'll be no need for you to tidy up the place
There is no need for me at all this morning
All the live long day

[Chorus 1]
Don't eat, don't sleep
Don't grow too green
Too soon the winter will wrinkle your leaves
It's making me crazy, yeah

[Bridge]
As the dirt clods fall from the roots and tubers
Cracking where the earth has lost its grip
Let slip, it meant to keep you down

[Chorus 2]
The space without collapsing in
And so it seems you've been run through the rinse
All over again
Not once, not twice, now several times
They should be peeling the orange from rind
To take what's inside

[Verse 2]
Lamb chop, cut the grass
Poor old whirling motor
Shamrock, lay down flat
Engine comes screaming over, oh and

[Pre-Chorus 2]
There will be no need for you to look with longing
There'll be no need for you to save a place in line
There is no need for me at all this morning
All the live long day

[Chorus 3]
No please, don't speak, I know your thoughts
And so it seems it's been dragging me up the wall
And over the floor
These stars, these hearts, these lucky charms
Eventually tear the green clovers apart

[Outro]
And leave them in pieces
And leave them in pieces
And leave them in
Leave them in pieces
