Palm Tree on Avenue G

Let us buy a little house
We can fix up
Move it all in your girlfriend's truck
We'll need some plants in our rooms
Lots of cartoons
A dirty carpet for a witches broom
We'll need a market down the street
Roller skates for our feet
A local laundromat where we'll watch TV
And a pawn shop not far
You can lend your guitars
And buy 'em back when there's more bread in the jar

And that's all
That we'll need to get by
We'll bring our neighbors
Some coffee, peppers and cherry lime

We'll have a dog with one eye
A cat that climbs across
Our chipped fence, a palm outside (a palm outside)
You'll smoke on your pipe
While I sip on my beer
We'll pack our worries up away for the year
And if it all works as planned
Maybe someday we can
Live off on some distant beach in a van
We'll have a garden that rises
Up in the spring
And color it in in some paint-stained jeans

And that's all
That we'll need to get by
We'll bring our neighbors
Some demo tapes of you and I

And that's all (and that's all)
That we'll need to get by (we'll need to get by)
And that's all (and that's all)
That we'll need to get by (we'll need to get by)
We'll have our neighbors come by
And join us for a fish fry
