lyrics

Coming from an earthquake town, you hear a lot about buildings
I think about it more than I maybe should
Now they’re putting up a plastic palace right across the road
I’ve got less patience for this than I thought I would

I’m out of step, look to the left as it turns
(Can’t get it, can’t get it right)
Kingdom of sand, you’ll salt the land on all four sides
(Hearts beating in 6/8 time)

Lifted up on fraying wires
Glass foundations, paper tigers
For almost my entire adult life (so far)
It’s getting late, I’m getting older

Holding out for hope just feels like treading water
Waiting for a train that’s never gonna come
Kia kaha, resilience, compromising on permanence
Eleven years to cover up the sun

Shadows shroud the yard at 238
Within an inch of what they’ll regulate
(We’ll stay up late, discuss what might come next)
This edifice of paper fold, it shines like new and groans like old (Wondering where the coin might come to rest)
Where some young family might move in
Stop-gap for something permanent
(Flipped a dozen times, what could go wrong?)
This is your new northern skyline
Reminders of familiar decline
(Watch them tear it down before too long )
