The sDlap of the paper
The hGiss of the sprinkler
the bDeep of the coffee machAine
the dDrone in the distance
that sGays there's a freeway
the gDardeners will sAoon make the scDene
'cause it's thGursday
sDoon they'll aArrive on the sDcene
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 leGader's an aActor who spDeaks with an aGccent
who's aDble to pDrocure our lAove
but lGife is a mAovie
out hGere in the vDalley
what eDlse were we aAll thinking Dof?
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 music 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
