The combination of bones and ditches isn't bad for irrigation.

lyrics

Dreams give way when first light hits the eyes of a dreamer
Morning brings reality with its heat
Quiet interrupter with right of first refusal
Determined, with a certain sense of uncertainty

My parents went to college, and soon I followed
Kind of like that certain way summer follows spring
By fall when I was walking, not walking fast
Footprints in the snowflakes, with dreams trailing

Set it all up, just one part catches fire
Turn it up to 10
Play it all out, down to the wire

My sister's married to a serious survivalist
their kids are getting drunk on holy water in Florida
Well, that's a hell of a thing for an earthbound atheist
who dreams of running from guns and bibles
in the mountains of Canada

My neighbor's buried in delirious anonymity
his bones lie scattered randomly at the bottom of a reservoir
Although it doesn't do much to help an eternal soul's salvation
the combination of bones and ditches isn't bad for irrigation
