Eggshell

[Verse 1]
Limits of the rivers
Sideways-sliding to the south
Rounding out the boundary
Of the plain

[Verse 2]
Darkening the carpet
At the far end of the house
Summer spurred a seizure
In my brain

[Refrain]
Ambulances came

[Chorus 1]
Weaving a whinin’ siren down the highway
Leaving a smilin’ silence in your life, babe
And even your sharin'-cherry-cola mind
Fragile as an eggshell
Eggshell

[Verse 3]
Buried me, remarried
You were barely getting by
Just you two 'n' a justice
Of the peace

[Verse 4]
Split out to the city
You were really getting tired
Of finding what
Reminded you of me

[Refrain]
But the kids you had to keep

[Chorus 2]
Doing their best impression of the dead, babe
Leaving a smilin’ silence in your best days
Resembling every memory you have left
Up in your sharin'-cherry-cola head
Fragile as an eggshell
Eggshell
