about

Single off 'Caramel Clouds', out August 23rd, 2019.

lyrics

hey mr. straw man
strike a match on the back of your own hand
and sound the alarm when flames lick your arms

mr. straw man
who can breathe all the smoke you've been blowing?
crying wolf might blow down your door

things you said that you'd do of course you won't

hey mr. straw man
is there even one leg on which you stand?
scared off the crows, they'll be back in droves

mr. straw man
took one page out your big book of matches
and struck it hard
till you saw some sparks

straw man, call up the fire chief
from the top of that building that you burned to the ground
call up the fire chief
he won't come around
