Lyrics

I went to the warehouse
to trade in my trophies
they scratch off the name
and they buff up the plates
and then put the blank bodies
back up in the window
awaiting engraving
of winners and dates

it’s so nice to see you
hey...hey, don’t I know you?
tender green shoots of you
grow through the yard
medals hung heavy
my neck wouldn’t let me
so i gave ‘em up good
though the giving was hard

I went to the warehouse
to trade in my trophies
trumpets and ribbons
my trove and its trimmings
and it’s so nice to see you!
hey...hey, don’t I know you?

how good it feels here in this place
pass up the goal for the view now
something opens up
I take in space
