Lyrics The Grove - Brasstronaut

The Grove

We used to trace our names in the bright white sand
And crawl into the jungle on our knees and hands
We settled at the edge of a coral tongue
Summoned by the pulse of a warm steel drum
With the lights of Miami in distant view
Easy money came quick and caught up to you
You used to run around with the bright white swan
But now my better instinct tells me that she’s long gone
(Gone gone gone gone)
When your locks got picked it was on the news
The shadows of confession made your features seem older, bolder
And you searched in vain for your marveled swan
You’re calling out her name, but she’s long long gone
(Gone gone gone gone)
Take a look at my face
Take a look at my hands
On account of the charge
I’m a shell of a man
Did you think they would rescue you?
Pull you out of the cage
And put you back on the catamaran
(Hey man)
Take away the facade
The collection of cars
On account of the charge
I’m a helluva man
Did you think they would come for you?
Pull you out of the cage
And put you back on the catamaran
(Hey man, hey man)
Take a look at my life
Take a look at my kids
On account of the charge
I’m a shell of a man
Did you think they would come for you
Pull you out of the cage
And put you back on the catamaran
(Hey man)
Take away the facade
The collection of cars
On account of the charge
I’m a helluva man
Did you think they would come for you
Pull you out of the cage
And put you back on the catamaran
(Hey man)
