Crooked Tree Songtext
I heard that he drinks LSD in coffee
I heard that he found God then gave it up
I heard he made a welcome sign for aliens
But now he's selling snake oil to make a buck
As I'm going through his neighbor's garbage
I heard he's been collecting pots and pans
I heard he likes to visit with the dying
Since they're the only ones who understand

Girl, your daddy is a crooked tree
But I don't need everybody looking at me
Just a little bit of space and I'll be alright
Gonna summon strange songs up through the night
As they all walk by, I can hear them say
That tree is getting stronger and stranger
Every day

I heard he keeps some questionable company
I heard his sex life ain't exactly square
And all the books he read, I heard they changed him
But he says he didn't learn too much from them

Girl, your daddy is a strange machine
But I don't need anybody working on me
Just a little bit of time and I'll be alright
Gonna make my strange sounds up through the night
As they all walk by, I can hear him say
That machine is getting stronger and stranger
Every day
Heard he calls his wife a savior
Heard his house is full of broken clocks
I heard he was prodigal in childhood
But now he's gone a little odd

Girl, your daddy is a fever dream
But I don't need anybody's cure for me
Just a little bit of love and I'll be alright
Gonna summon strange songs up through the night
As they all walk by, I can hear them say
That dream is getting stronger and stranger
Every day
Your daddy is a crooked tree
But I don't need everybody looking at me
Just a little bit of space and I'll be alright
Gonna summon strange songs up through the night
As they all walk by, I can hear them say
That tree is getting stronger and stranger
Every day
