Johnny remembers the barn He kissed his first cow in It burned down two years ago Johnny holds his head low Pointing towards the floor Pointing towards the door He drinks homemade grape juice And thinks about how odd It is that we crush small things And drink their blood Johnny does not want to be crushed He does not like the sinking feeling He gets when he thinks about The grey silo that still stands By the dark patch of grass That won't grow back again He wishes the clock would stop Talking at such a steady volume Johnny has trouble sleeping Ever since the barn burned down

On a train approaching a bridge
Johnny remembers the barn He kissed his first cow in It burned down two years ago Johnny holds his head low Pointing towards the floor Pointing towards the door He drinks homemade grape juice And thinks about how odd It is that we crush small things And drink their blood Johnny does not want to be crushed He does not like the sinking feeling He gets when he thinks about The grey silo that still stands By the dark patch of grass That won't grow back again He wishes the clock would stop Talking at such a steady volume Johnny has trouble sleeping Ever since the barn burned down
