Here are the lyrics to Death Cab for Cutie "Grapevine Fires"
When the wind picked up
The fire spread
And the grapevine seemed left for dead
And the northern sky, looked like the end of day,
The end of days.
A wake up call to a rented room
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom.
To warn us it's only a matter of time.
Before we all burn
Before we all burn
Before we all burn
Before we all burn
We bought some wine and some papercups
Neared your daughter's school
and we picked her up
And drove to the cemetary on a hill, on a hill.
And we watched the plumes paint the sky gray
As she laughed and danced through the field of graves
And there I knew it would be alright
That everything would be alright,
Would be alright
Would be alright
Would be alright.
And the news reports on the radio
Said it was getting worse
As the ocean air fanned the flames.
But I couldn't think there
was anywhere I would have
rather been
To watch it all burn away.
To burn away.
The firemen worked in double shifts,
With prayers of rain on their lips
And they knew it was only a matter of time.

Are you wearing Kylee's snow pants in your profile pic?
-Sam
Did Sam have you say that?
They are camo, the same color camo that the male military wear when they are in cities!
