lyrics

good news grows on the ground
around your prickle-berry balance beam
for when I lean and fall
and bramble berries ravage me
I know that I'll be fine
If I pick apart a dandelion

he wants his coffee with a smile
as if you didn't just wake up and
brew the pot, and grind the bean
from a night of ripped-up magazines
drinking paint and dripping wine
and picking up dandelions

we sailed a roof upon the wind
upon a rash of hurricanes
and when their wrath of fury fell
I found a phone to file a claim
they said, "before we can decide,
you must pick up all the dandelions"

I thought you flipped a switch and kicked the town
found an island all for yourself
you might've let me know how you're found
but you know I never read the mail
the surprise, when I turned the light
you were holding out a dandelion
so I picked apart a dandelion

now all the seasons have erode
the fall dissolved
and now you're talking like you gotta go
like all the stars aligned
when you picked apart a dandelion

I guess your other lover's back in town
cause all the sudden I'm prone to count
she loves me not; she loves me now
and every other time
I pick apart a dandelion

so I pick apart a dandelion
