Elderberry Wine - Intellectual

[Verse 1: Karly Hartzman]

Sweet song is a long con

I drove you to the airport with the E-brake on

Ain't heard that voice in a long time

Had to check back there to make sure you were alive

Angel hum of an electric car

Reverses toward me

Sometimes in my head, I give up and flip the board completely

But everybody gets along just fine

'Cause the champagne tastes like elderberry wine

And the pink boiled eggs stay afloat in the brine

'Cause even the best champagne still tastes like elderberry wine

You'll cry at commercials

At an unbolted leg scraping against the ground

As the tilt-a-whirl goes around

Roll one up, say it's mostly CBD

Said, "I wanna have your baby"

'Cause I freckle and you tan

I find comfort that angels don't give a damn

[Chorus: Karly Hartzman, Karly Hartzman & MJ Lenderman]

But everybody gets along just fine

'Cause the champagne tastes like elderberry wine

And the pink boiled eggs stay afloat in the brine

'Cause even the best champagne still tastes like elderberry wine

[Chorus: Karly Hartzman, Karly Hartzman & MJ Lenderman]

But everybody gets along just fine

'Cause the champagne tastes like elderberry wine

And your eyes are the green of tornado sky

'Cause even the best champagne still tastes like elderberry wine
