Family Heirloom

from Public Universal Friend by Attics

lyrics

Pardon our appearance sign
While I renovate
Try to change my mind
Rearranging furniture
Doesn’t do much good
When it all came from you
A greedy lighthouse keeper
Wields a fickle beacon
Depends on what you pay
And her ledger book is endless
She’s very sensitive
Be careful what you say

A parting word
A consolation prize
Don’t be alarmed
Just go have a look inside
Time will tell
But I think I got the gist
The family heirloom
Almost had me tricked

You don’t wilt away so easily
You’re all dug in
You’re a hardy strain
Poison your exterior
To keep away the inferiors
Stage a demonstration
Over an earthquake
Over a broken plate
A welcome mat, an iron gate
You’re a survivor
Wrapped in razor wire

A parting word
A consolation prize
Don’t be alarmed
Just go have a look inside

Time will tell
But I think I got the gist
The family heirloom
Almost had me tricked

Time will tell
But I think I got the gist
The family heirloom
Almost had me tricked

Time will tell
But I think I got the gist
The family heirloom
Is too heavy to lift

Time will tell
But I think I got the gist
The family heirloom
Is too heavy to lift
