Anchorless Lyrics

They called here to tell me
That you??re finally dying
Thru a veil of childish cries
Southern Manitoba
Prairies pulling at the
Pant-leg of your bad disguise
So why were you so
A boat abandoned in some backyard
The small town that you lived and died in
Shoebox full of photos
Found a grainy mirror
Sunken cheeks and slender hands
Grocery lists and carbon
Copied letters offer
Silence for my small demands
Hey how??d you get so
A boat abandoned in some backyard
The small town that you lived and died in
Got an armchair from your family home
Got your p.g. wodehouse novels and your telephone
Got your plates and stainless steel
Got that way of never saying what you really feel
A boat abandoned in some backyard
The small town that you lived and died in
Don??t want to live and die here
Don??t want to live and die here were we??re
The small towns that we live and die in
D B A G (until fade out)
