lyrics

The children swingin from our arms
They hold our hands and squeeze so tight
Our arms collected sweat and mud
The engines powering their flight

The fruit felt sweetest on the lips
Our fingers stuck like chewing gum
Warm breath dances around your ears
The summer rains have yet to come

You gotta keep your fingers painted girl
From the holiday
You gotta keep your fingers painted
And we’ll go back someday

The leather took the sun so well
It burned a hole right through the seat
The bus began to show its age
As we were drawn in by the heat

The moon sat like a pearl in mud
Our bodies tandem on the shore
The water kept our minds afloat
But chilled our bones right to the core

You gotta keep your fingers painted girl
From the holiday
You gotta keep your fingers painted
And we’ll go back someday
And we’ll go back someday

You gotta keep your fingers painted girl
From the holiday
You gotta keep your fingers painted
And we’ll go back someday

You gotta keep your fingers painted girl
Keep your fingers painted
Keep your fingers painted
And we’ll go back someday
We’ll go back someday
We’ll go back someday
