lyrics

there's an animal in the backyard
can you hear it at the window
scratching and clawing
oh god where are the children
and there's something in the cabinet yeah
and walking amongst the bottles and
eating all the medicine
you need for your depression

well I've got a pattern
stepping over heads of tall ferns
and I walk a path where
frightened mothers snort and raise horns
I walk a path past

there's an animal in the backyard
can you hear it at the window
scratching and clawing
oh god where are the children
the children
the children
oh god where are the children

come home
you've got your new boots on
and it's been raining off and on
there's puddles on the lawn
get your old sneakers on
well come home
come home
come home

there's a golem pulling treetops
peeling lines of ridges and
revealing hidden fissures
from which light is delivered
where's my brother where's the poor boy
where'd he run to arches destroyed
to be picking dirt from lenses
that has been from the beginning

well I never knew where
the herd would be come winter
and I never counted
never knew them all by number
well I knew by winter
you'd come home

come home
you've got your new boots on
and it's been raining off and on
there's puddles on the lawn
get your old sneakers on
well come home
come home
come home
