valley morning

the slap of the paper

the hiss of the sprinkler

the beep of the coffee machine

the drone in the distance

that says there's a freeway

the gardeners will soon make the scene

'cause it's thursday

soon they'll arrive on the scene

i pick up the paper

i'm spritzed by the sprinkler

inside i take in my caffeine

then i hear the dog door

i know he's gone out there

to mark and to mess up the scene

they're illegal

but soon they'll arrive on the scene

our leader's an actor who speaks with an accent

who's able to procure our love

but life is a movie

out here in the valley

what else were we all thinking of?

the clack of the skateboard resounds in the valley

next door the kid's starting a band

their morning rehearsal is making me crazy

the volume is way out of hand

it's not music

to my ears it's way out of hand

our leader's an actor who speaks with an accent

who's able to procure our love

but life is a movie

out here in the valley

what else were we all thinking of?

the slap of the paper

the hiss of the sprinkler

the beep of the coffee machine

the drone in the distance

that says there's a freeway

the gardeners will soon make the scene

'cause it's thursday

soon they'll arrive on the scene
