	Lyrics ALL OUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED lyrics ©2000 by Timothy Buchanan Hackberry tree saw the buildin's a comin' And said to itself "My tree rings are numbered" "Surely I am in their way" "And They will cut me up into lumber" But the buildings sprang up along side Hackberry tree And the cement around it's feet was considerably poured The building's don't grow and so stay small And every year Hackberry's height does soar An observent bird said to the others "Surely our salad days are ending" "At the place where w e gather our food" "The people curse and scoul at our droppings" "They now have employed two owls to stand gaurd" "To rip us apart with their talon feet" But it was soon discovered the owls were plastic Now the big old owl eyes are all blinded by bird droppings In an art house people with paint pens and finger pickin' On walls and sound their visions they doused Yet their visions became blurred with dread When a for sale sign went up outside their house "Any day now they said "We shall be thrown out" These limitations poured from their pens and their mouths But the years have passed and the sign still stands And it's threat is somethin' they just laugh about Now Hackberry tree shades the owls on the art house And drops it's berries on the cement, e asy to find The birds gather the Hackberries and perch on Hackberry limbs And crap on cement, owls, art people and anything of anykind The art people paint pictures of birds, trees and owls And the berry-colored crapped on for sale sign My regard for th under is slumber For all our days are numbered Our smooth skin shall become dust, trampled asunder For all our days are numbered
