lyrics

got lost last night
turned up today
they found her in a ditch half a mile away
there'd been some confusion
troubling conclusion
she said she could get home okay

through the field she weaves
butter knife and everything
out to chase the ghost she claims
had snuck in through the dog door
drifting under the willow tree
where June lost her identity
and Mira lost her locket

leave it in that certain place
all wrapped in lace, even though you know
I'm not from the moon and you aren't either

climb the hill to see
where all the flowers used to be
to drown her culpability
to keep the righteous reaching
place it under the willow tree
another stolen effigy
left out for the magpies

leave it in that certain place
all wrapped in lace, even though you know
I'm not from the moon and you aren't either

"locked in the bathroom with the threat all over with
call me your favorite or I'll load up the car again
feeling alright but I can't make amends
now, how could you love me in a time like this?"

I'm not from the moon and you aren't either
I'm not from the moon and you aren't either
I'm not from the moon and you aren't either

I'm not from the moon

in the field she sleeps
butter knife and everything
lying in the dirt again
buried as she's breathing
