Pterodactyl

It's been a test to keep our breath in the cards against your chest
We did our best
We crumbled and crested when we least expected
Just doin our best

Past a little home in the Highlands we'd be close enough to walk
To the market or the park
On the very first day of autumn
And if it rains, is it cool we take your car?
(Chika-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Does it burst your bubble can you taste that trouble
When the youth is saying things
Like look at how the red bird weaves
Through the leaves
On the trees
Like an F-18

We'll still thank our lucky stars at night
When the kids are fast asleep
And in the kitchen you'll creep
Wrap around me
Red fox and the billy goat bleet
Tweedelee
Four dancin' feet

(Chika-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Well a soul is a body's guest to a cocktail party in the afternoon
Sneak on up to an empty room
With the same old singers' brand new tune
Too much wine in the light of the moon
It's the witching hour
For the higher power

Well the deepest love's giving each other the benefit of the doubt
It's been a wonderful evening out
My fellow calves of a sacred cow
Let's try to make our mother proud
What do we do now?
Should we dance about?
Let's dance about it

You can hear a buffalo hoof like rain on the roof
Of the ground beneath our tub
Up on the ridge of the crocodile mud
Through the cover crop rows of rye
I wanna watch you fly
My pterodactyl in the sky
Favorite one of all reasons why
I feel so fine
