lyrics

All along the highways
The fields of rotting corn
Like blankets over valleys
In the place where I was born

And you may call it progress
But the fallow soil it warns

If it’s holding you up
If it’s holding you up
You’re holding it down

If you can find a lover
in all this rotten corn
they might cook you supper
keep you fed and warm

And while you might find that peaceful
their hardened hands are worn
If they're holding you up...

Roll on up
You old pill bug
Inside of your what ifs
and whys

The hottest year on record
The rolling waters rise
The earth is simply sweating
To slick us off her her thighs

And it might be quite painful
So you roll up in your lies
But if she's holding you up...
