Jackson's Kid Summer - The No Go

Dance across the hall
Swamp the floor with the reasons you resigned
Tell the truth a tall tale, a tall order
Dance your face across the sky
Everyone wants to rule the world

It's a no go
You didn't show
So I'm letting you go

Lay your hands across me to follow
The defender of the alliance holds her hand in compliance
Tell the truth, make a choice
I want out of here

Because we found
Five pictures of Alex when she was four years old
Three pictures of Kevin singing to the radio
Two pictures of Brenna with a friend trying hard to compare
That one picture of Claire waving her hands in the air

We had several saving Saturday's with assorted grace
Two weekends in town with a friend trying to calm down
The recent victim of an amputation
The straight shot that ruin summer vacation

I hate my teeth, I hate my toes
I hate the sand beneath them, the earth beneath them
And the reasons why
I don't see it fit to try

I swallowed my future
Wasted my time on a record I didn't believe in
So when I pump my blood into a circular piece of plastic
And I expose my love
For a heavy dose of rotation

What will Hannah say?

(It's a No Go)
She'll say
Send me the ocean
Dance your way across the lords
(It's a No Go)
It's an awkward piece of the pie now
I'm finding a softer side of your bedroom
A trouble with living, a trouble with knowing
A trouble with all of my friends
(Say it's a No Go)
Who insist I keeping going
And all of my dreams
That just refuse to die

I know it's a No Go!

Because we found
Five pictures of Alex when she was four years old
Three pictures of Kevin singing to the radio
Two pictures of Brenna with a friend trying hard to compare
That one picture of Claire waving her hands in the air

We had several saving Saturday's with assorted grace
Two weekends in town with a friend trying to calm down
The recent victim of an amputation
The straight shot that ruin summer vacation

And if I had the words to sing to you

Megan row your boat ashore
Hallelujah
Because Michael can't row this boat ashore
Hallelujah
