The Fiery Furnaces Paw Paw Tree Lyrics

At last when the choice was neither nor,
Bottom of the bay we're set ashore
Went into town beg what we lack:
200 stripes on horseback

Wearing my yellow coat,
Rope tied around my throat
Great green wax candle unlit
Silence! And then the sentence spit

I'm sitting up in my paw paw tree
Wait they make mango mush outta me

Pick axe I can't stay
Silver mines all day
Cut down the weedwood
And think that I just could

I'm sitting up in my paw paw tree
Wait they make mango mush outta me

Tied down with brown twine
Up past the tree line
Up by I hope where
The King of Spain don't care

I'm sitting up in my paw paw tree
Wait they make mango mush outta me
