Lyrics
We Are Just Borrowing
Eli Reynolds
Ummmmmmmm
She's a cool queen, a restless dame
Even the dark lord would not speak her name
Every time a little different, so you cannot predict
When she is coming home, to a home
She won't recognize, and when you look in her eyes
You see it falling from the skies
Chorus. We are just borrowing, borrowing
2 Xs. We are just borrowing, borrowing
To build our little empires
Pray we miss the brush fires
Call in the clouds, so she can make it rain
Wash away your tiny castle, don't you feel like an ass hole
With your big strong beams, ripped out with such ease
You said you never saw it coming, but in hindsight, that was dumb
Cause deep down, deep down, you know that some day
Deep down, deep down, we all gonna pay
Out of the ground, she comes a rumbling
Turning it up, break up the rucus, take the dirt back suckers
Chorus
OOOooooooo
I know with some grace, and a little luck, I'll be fine
I'll be fine, yeah
OOOOooooooo
I know we all wanted to leave something behind
But she plays a patient game
We are just borrowing, borrowing
