Clementine lyrics

you slept in your overalls
after the wrecking ball
bereft you of house and home
and left you with sweet `fuck all`

so we got in your car
with our kick-about arts
and we hollered out, `sweet clementine`

tell your mom to marry us
a candle to carry us
with cans on our bicycle fenders
so sweet and hilarious

and we`ll find us a home
built of packaging foam
that will be there `til after we die

and i`ll play the clarinet
use clam shells for castanets
we play with our banks on our shoulders
my sweet lady lioness

and i watch as you sleep
so indelibly deep
and i hum to you, sweet clementine
