the mountain goats - chino love song 1979 lyrics
[talking: origin unknown]
family, and uh, cleave to your wife, and, that
i think that really set the theme for us
as far as the oneness, and that was that
the oneness and the completeness
[verse 1: john darnielle]
and the may sun shone down on california, and the
strawberries grew fat and full and thick and red
and as big as your fist
and the traffic on riverside drive was thin
but by no means non-existent, when
[chorus]
i saw you against the soda machine
i saw you leaning there
[verse 2]
and your hand in the basket was nimble-fingered
and red finger-nailed
and it made me remember the sunflower that popped-up
outside my window one morning in norwalk
it was bright yellow and it was real inviting
i almost forgot that it was an intruder
[chorus]
i saw you against the soda machine
i saw you leaning there
i saw you against the soda machine
i saw you leaning there
