Yo La Tengo
The Asparagus Song
On a walk along the sand
People build a garden there
Unearth some buried sailors
And took their arms and added spice
So then we grow up strong together
Holding out their severed limbs
And holding hands, they stand so proudly
Against the roar of the surf, let it take you
On a walk along the sand
People staring side by side
Tons of troops lie underground
Out of their skin
[?]
They've been together for so long
They've all grown up just like asparagus
Don't you let Ma know she wanted [?]
There's a beacon far away
Don't seek it in the dark
Come through too loud and strong
Don't let it take you
Don't let it break you
