hallow down the hall
have you written?
I was gone
wake up my souvenirs
add three and two I spotted you
but who could stand to follow through?

raise the flag
raise the flag
raise the flag
of your sibling's favorite daydream

stupefied again
in the autumn of our father's den
I came to with a canker
drinking from the faucet
trying to save some water and a friend
I knew he'd operate

raise the flag
raise the flag
raise the flag
of your sibling's favorite daydream

I'll shine the light
though it's not flattering
on your wishes as they are
telephone mom, she should be next to me
notify dad, it's common decency

then wash the dishes while your secrets leave home
call the news tell 'em to leave us alone
we all fit on this embarrassing throne
but anyway
listen for the sound of subtle atrophy
while he's tethered to a broken phonograph

back in school again
you didn't think I'd abandon you my friend
here comes a silver bullet
to skim the leaves of poplar leaves
and blessed be the minor keys
I'm so in love with you

raise the flag
raise the flag
raise the flag
of your sibling's favorite daydream
