mckinley - dorothy lyrics
(mckinley)
i could build houses that wouldn’t bend with the breeze,
not like my own home of not so brave straw, with a wolf
living in every part of the yard. they don’t mean
to be greedy, that’s just what they are.
falling asleep i feel the walls bending
close to a buckle. auntie em, auntie em
god would you look what’s coming.
this was no storm i could sleep through,
like some silly dorothy, it blew
holes in me before i could say, “there never was
a place, there never was a place like home.”
i was going to join custer’s army or john wayne’s posse.
on my bantan bike i’d ride away. i never spoke
of my plans to travel. i was too afraid
i wouldn’t be begged to stay.
now falling asleep i feel the walls bending
close to a buckle. auntie em, auntie em
god would you look what’s coming.
this is no storm i can sleep through,
like some silly dorothy, it’ll blow
holes in me before i can say, “there never was
a place, there never was a place like home.”
