The Banana Knows Why

[Verse 1]

A porch light humming in the breeze

The mailbox sang about the trees

I asked a crow where Tuesday went

He tipped his hat and paid the rent

A bicycle beached in the yard

Whistling for a falling card

The moon tucked into bed too soon

And left a note under the spoon

[Pre-Chorus]

Round the corner the river leans

Nothing means the way it seems

If the ladder grows a wing

Then the whole town learns to sing

[Chorus]

Banana knows banana knows why

Apple forgives and the grape don't cry

If you're hunting for the reason slow

Wrong turn right back to the afterglow

The banana knows the banana knows

Every door falls shut then goes

Ask the ceiling ask the wall

The banana knows it all

[Verse 2]

A train of buttons on the floor

Knocking polite upon the door

One glove got married to a sock

And held the ring behind a rock

The old clock factory in my head

Bakes the minutes into bread

I sold my shadow for a dime

And got the weather every time

[Pre-Chorus]

Maybe Monday oils the hinge

Maybe all the maps are fringe

If the kettle learns to float

Then every whisper needs a note

[Chorus]

Banana knows banana knows why

Apple forgives and the grape don't cry

If you're hunting for the reason slow

Wrong turn right back to the afterglow

The banana knows the banana knows

Every door falls shut then goes

Ask the ceiling ask the wall

The banana knows it all

[Bridge]

Left is yellow (yellow is left)

Wait is only borrowed lent

Five's a river green is two

And every key was made for you

Don't measure the rain

Don't weigh the snow

Let the odd little questions go

Whatever the answer was before

We needed a sound worth singing for

[Breakdown]

Ha-ha-ha the mud on my shoe

Sings the tune I never knew

Papa the morning knows my name

And the avocado takes the blame

[Final Chorus]

Banana knows banana knows why

Hold the question kiss the sky

All the nonsense humming round

Lost the door but found the ground

The banana knows the banana knows

Every door falls shut then blooms

Ask the ceiling ask the wall

The banana loves us all

[Outro]

Banana knows

Banana knows why
