Thank you for letting us stay
Sometimes I lose all of my mind
But you know me, I always manage
To keep what nobody needs
Like when you'd rest your tanned hides
Against the door frame

And the black walnut trees and the sumac and starlings
Were lost in the swell of the creek
And I leaned back like a woman
Baptized in the river of Styx
Oh silly rabbit, sometimes everyone gets tricked

The Museum of Natural History
With its new blood and fur and ivory
Left me wanting to know
So much more of this world
But you know me, I always manage
To leave what I most need
Like when the ice broke
And the lake, it did swallow you whole

And the black walnut trees and the sumac is gone
And the starlings fled from the East
And we're caught in the drifts now
But we’re headin’ to Mexico City
