The old plantation has been abandoned The love is gone yeah the love is gone New hieroglyphics braid the columns Kids on the MTrain baptize the lawns Your floating jukebox stuck on Ill get you So lost at sea yeah so lost at sea You watch the rations you man the spyglass So far from Memphis rivers from me But did you ever really try To peel away the sky Neither did I The master bedroom its shutters hanging Its no museum its no museum The fields are barren but for a bonfire A pile of empties in the mausoleum But did you ever really try To peel away the sky Neither did I God bless the shelter so bruised and battered God bless the days yeah god bless the days The old plantation is like a sore now A home for maggots but dont turn away Dont turn away until you try To peel away the sky Dont turn away until you try To peel away the sky
