Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, mama tells her stories and papa tells them too
They come on home and tell them to each other
They got webs and spinning little things
Trying to hide a question about the weather
(Mmm)
(Mmm)
(Mmm)
(Mmm)

[Verse 2]
Well, the ants go marching on the moon
Two by two they stay
The crows and the doves one heaven up above
Like angels and demons used to
Well, I don't know what that's supposed to mean
No, I don't at all
No, I don't know what that's supposed to mean to me

[Verse 3]
Again we say our parting ways
And the military gives me a medal
For all the terrible ways I lived behind a shovel
And what did we do again in that place and all that sand
And how could we forgive the red star in our eyes
No, I don't know what that's supposed to mean
No, I don't know what that's supposed to mean to me
All the world and all our lives
What are we doing in this devil's life
What we did we had inside ourselves
The kind you don't tell
It never makes the history books or journals
It's just a secret on the shelf
Because I don't know what that's supposed to mean
No, I don't know what that's supposed to mean
