[Verse 1]

Limits of the rivers

Sideways-sliding to the south

Rounding out the boundary

Of the plain

[Verse 2]

Darkening the carpet

At the far end of the house

Summer spurred a seizure

In my brain

[Refrain]

Ambulances came

[Chorus 1]

Weaving a whinin’ siren down the highway

Leaving a smilin’ silence in your life, babe

And even your sharin'-cherry-cola mind

Fragile as an eggshell

Eggshell

[Verse 3]

Buried me, remarried

You were barely getting by

Just you two 'n' a justice

Of the peace

[Verse 4]

Split out to the city

You were really getting tired

Of finding what

Reminded you of me

[Refrain]

But the kids you had to keep

[Chorus 2]

Doing their best impression of the dead, babe

Leaving a smilin’ silence in your best days

Resembling every memory you have left

Up in your sharin'-cherry-cola head

Fragile as an eggshell

Eggshell
