lyrics

We up and flew the coop way out to Manitoba
September 1981
My mother found herself some kind of trouble
Some unspeakable thing that she had done

Along comes one talk dark and handsome stranger
Miss, it don't matter what you did
Then my brother Jd he appeared that winter
Neck as long as 15 other kids

Now there's a point at which I'm gonna make shit up
When the truth starts boring me to tears
but so far, I'll just stick to simple facts
Cuz I ain't had to make shit up in years

Now we grew up not knowing we were extra terrestrials
Fell out of coldest Northern Lights
With our ticks and our kinks and our crazy mama
Everything is gonna work out right

It ain't pretty but that's how this cookie crumbles
And I do now and then at the thought of it
It's funny once the murky water passes under
Underneath the old Maryland bridge
