  • What about the glass dandelions?
    What about the TV screen?
    What about the undeveloped camera?
    Maybe we should bury these
    What about the last of the good ones?
    What about the ceiling fans?
    What if we moved back to New York?
    What about the moon drop light?

    You should take it
    'Cause I'm not gonna take it
    You should take it
    I'm only gonna break it
    You should take it
    'Cause I'm not gonna take it
    You should take it, you should take it

    What about the rainbow eucalyptus?
    What about the instruments?
    What about the Cowboy Junkies?
    What about the Afghan Whigs?
    What about the Mountain Valley Spring?
    What about the ornaments?
    What if I reinvented again?
    What about the moon drop light?

    You should take it
    'Cause I'm not gonna take it
    You should it take it
    I'm only gonna break it
    You should take it
    'Cause I'm not gonna take it
    You should take it, you should take it
    You should take it
    'Cause I'm not gonna take it
    You should take it
    If I miss it, I'll visit
    You should take it
    'Cause I'm not gonna take it
    You should take it, you should take it

    I don't want it, I don't care
    I don't want it, it wouldn't be fair
    It'd be so alone without you there
    It wouldn't be fair, it wouldn't be fair
    There's nobody home, I'm already there
    It wouldn't be fair

    You should take it
    'Cause I'm not gonna take it
    You should take it
    I'm only gonna break it
    You should take it
    'Cause I'm not gonna take it
    You should take it, you should take it
    You should take it
    'Cause I'm not gonna take it
    You should take it
    If I miss it, I'll visit
    You should take it
    'Cause I'm not gonna take it
    You should take it

    It wouldn't be fair
    It'd be so alone without you there
    It wouldn't be fair, it wouldn't be fair
    There's nobody home, I'm already there
