Blow Monkeys - Buried In the Backyard Lyrics

Well, he muddied the water so that he may appear deep
Yes, he muddied the water so that he may appear deep
You get blinded by the pain that you keep, the pain you keep

Well, there ain't no runnin' from those memories, you see
No, there ain't no running from those memories, you see
Buried in the backyard, covered by leaves, covered by the leaves

For a second there I'd lost all sense of time
For a second there, you know, I lost all sense of time
Up on the edge with nowhere left to climb, nowhere left to climb

So he put on his robes and he walked upon the mountain trail
Yes, he put on his robes and he walked upon the mountain trail
Knowing for sure he was bound to fail, bound to fail

So he sailed down the river just like his good book said (down the river, down the river)
Yes, he sailed down the river, down the river like his good book said (down the river, down the river)
All the way down to the ocean bed, to the ocean bed

Buried in the backyard, buried in the backyard
Buried in the backyard, buried in the backyard
Buried in the backyard, buried in the backyard
