Little Kid - Eggshell Lyrics

Limits of the rivers
Sideways-sliding to the south
Rounding out the boundary
Of the plain

Darkening the carpet
At the far end of the house
Summer spurred a seizure
In my brain

Ambulances came

Weaving a whinin' siren down the highway
Leaving a smilin' silence in your life, babe
And even your sharin'-cherry-cola mind
Fragile as an eggshell
Eggshell

Buried me, remarried
You were barely getting by
Just you two 'n' a justice
Of the peace

Split out to the city
You were really getting tired
Of finding what
Reminded you of me

But the kids you had to keep

Doing their best impression of the dead, babe
Leaving a smilin' silence in your best days
Resembling every memory you have left
Up in your sharin'-cherry-cola head
Fragile as an eggshell
Eggshell
