Lyrics:
What about the glass dandelion?
What about the TV screen?
What about the undeveloped cameras?
Maybe 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 moondrop light?

You should take it, cuz I'm not gonna take it
You should take it, I'm only gonna break it
You should take it, cuz 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 moondrop light?

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

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

You should take it, cuz I'm not gonna take it
You should take it, if I miss it I'll visit
You should take it, cuz 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, it wouldn't be fair
