Do What We Do Lyrics

Do you live in that big bright sky?
Do you live in that big bright sky?

Where the sun don't grow too hot in the summer time
The moon washes it's hands or else it finds
We don't need you to do what we do
We don't need you to do what we do

So we chased our tails around
Heads were all we found
In those heads a shining place, a town inside this home
We don't need you to do what we do
We don't need you to do what we do

Little lips, hammers for fists, eyes were little lights
Building base from town to town, based in another town

We don't need you to do what we do
We don't need you to do what we do
We don't need you to do what we do
We don't need you to do what we do

Mark the trails from point to point
Tape bright enough to find when
The moon's the only one watching, you never gotta hide

We don't need you
When the boys go missing down by the riverbed
(The grass don't grow too tall in the summer)
The fireweed bloom marks the end of the summertime
(While the willow down spills coming in with the summer)
We don't need you to do what we do
We don't need you to do what we do

Do do you live in that big bright sky?
Do you live in that big bright sky?
Do do you live in that big bright sky?
Do you live in that big bright sky?
Do do you live in that big bright sky?
