"Family Tree" lyrics

Family Tree

Bop bop
Bop bop
Bop bop
Bop bop
Bop bop
Booooop

Care about the moonlight
And holding you tight
And asking my questions
Everyone loves a situation
Long walks on the beach
The press will impeach
Lately I'm finding
I am the book
And you are the binding

I guess they'll read
Everything about you
Though the press might shoot me down
I'm still true
I sell my book for free
That's what you do to me

Oh, you are my family tree
Be good to me
Take care of me

Bop bop
Bop bop
Bop bop
Bop bop
Bop bop
Booooooop

There's hotels in the sea
Trash in the sky
The net-dustry's growing
Stick to love songs kid
That's all you're knowing

They push you away
Or tie you up
It don't really matter
But if your head is up
You won't get much sadder

But who am I
To preach a word or two
When I can't lift my own head
Without you?
If my mental state
Kept you from coming around
I hope the world would shoot me down
For losing you
A broken branch I'd be
If you weren't grown to me

Oh, you are my family tree
Be good to me
Be good to me
Be good to me
Take care of me

Bop bop
Bop bop
Bop bop
Bop bop
Bop bop
Booooop
