All at Once

All at once They're digging at your skin Hungry eyes New highway begins But all you're losing is a star And all you're giving is your arm But think of all the time you're gonna save And who really needs both arms anyway? Weren't they just The kindest, gentle soul Made up And lifelike in a hole Don't sell yourself to wooden roots & rocks Your legacy as bones in a box But you can celebrate your real estate A stony face above the interstate Lighten up You'll float on if you try Just wait Til the sunset's in your eyes And your wings are battered from the storm And the wind keeps pushing you back North Aren't you glad you held off on your dreams Til they were trapped in velvet movie screens
