PALOMINE CRANES
Load up the container ships
All aboard for the Sea of Japan
Saddle up them horses
And leap across the Rio Grande
Let’s give the trade war seven or eight more flames to fan
Palomine cranes
Before you get waist-deep or deeper
Take off another layer of clothes
Ignore the days before beepers and unionized takers of tolls
You missed the ferryboats and by god you bless the trolls
Palomine cranes
The fragrant sutures of your vine-covered homes
Keep no wounds from weeping furthermore
They only wrap themselves around the slats
To make an awfully tempting home for rats
They provide no shelter
Only shade for the belles to sip their lemonade
While deep below their husbands wallow in a sea of lost invoices
The choice is clear to them
Gotta keep their asses in gear if they want to get further ahead
But the farther they ship their gear the deeper they sink in the red
How many more krypto-wonder tchotchkes can fit on the sled?

It's the Agony Aunts! (aka - The Corner Laughers!) Really, that's all you need to know. If you have not heard them before, start by listening to the album "Greater Miranda" - if it doesn't get you completely hooked on this amazing San Francisco area band, then nothing will Kat Smith
