lyrics

Honey, get some sleep. You look like hell
Come sit next to me. We’ll say farewell
To futures you built in your mind; you know that’s the most dangerous kind

Honey, look at me. Remember France?
You thought everything was set back then
But plans always change and diverge; you know that’s the way of the earth

We’re human. Only human.
Well, sure…

I’ll stick around in New York for a bit
I’ll try to forget Virginia
I’ll fuck around in the gap til it splits
But she and I both know better
The moon hangs over our heads
And begs

Come on home
You still know where that is. What’s the problem?
Is the road too long?
Are there no more songs to sing? Time to write some

Honey, drop it now. You’ll lose yourself
Take a walk through town. Excuse yourself
For God’s sake, get out of your mind. Answers come only with time

You’re human. Only human.
Well, sure…

I’ll walk around my middle school field
Remember, repose, and unfetter
Pay my homage to the brick and black steel
Still, she and I both know better
The moon will rise over our heads
And beg

Come on home
You still know where that is. What’s the problem?
Is the road too long?
Are there no more songs to sing? Fuckin’ write some.

Luna, I think you win this one
But I’ve got to stick it out til I am welcome
Virginia will still be there
I’ve got work to do and flesh to fan with fresh air

Luna, do you reflect the sun?
Or is that a trick you play so we feel welcome?
Virginia was always there
Lighting lamps and fires just like we do here

Well, Luna, I think you win this one
But I’ve got to give my buds a chance to blossom
Virginia will still be there
I’ll work til every shirt I own is threadbare

There will be so much after this
Who am I to try and say?
Blue sky beyond this awful mist
Ten thousand sunny days

about

Queen Cabbage image

Queen Cabbage New York, New York

Originating in late 2017 at SUNY Purchase, Queen Cabbage is a folky art rock band dedicated to synthesizing silliness, seriousness, life, death, the beautiful, and the grotesque into earnest, powerful, emotionally immediate music for eager feet to dance and stumble to, for thoughtful hearts to beat and break to, and—most importantly—for authority figures to disapprove of.
