They Might Be Giants
The Darlings of Lumberland
[Instrumental Intro]
[Chorus 1]
Yes, it's the Darlings of Lumberland
Their voices are the echoes' mausoleums turned to sand
Empty hollow sockets freeze the soldiers where they stand
The Darlings of Lumberland
[Verse 1]
It's getting difficult for a ghoul
Wax museum dreams are so foolish
No rehearsal, no finishing school
It's getting difficult for a ghoul
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Hold my cold dead hand for a bit
Just got my cast off, I'm gonna blast off
A little melody if time permits
Hold my cold dead hand for a bit
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus 2]
Yes, it's the Darlings of Lumberland
Pull you off the bank and by popular demand
Drag you by your mind, now you're under their command
The Darlings of Lumberland
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus 3]
Yes, it's the Darlings of Lumberland
Their voices are the echoes' mausoleums turn to sand
Empty hollow sockets freeze the soldiers where they stand
The Darlings of Lumberland
