[Verse 1]
Gravel on the driveway
Trash can throne
We rise
Tiny crowns of dirt and dust
Glow of porch lights in our eyes
We surf tipped-over pizza boxes
Tail flags cutting through the dark
Freeze up when the engine rumbles
Then we bolt across the yard
[Chorus]
We’re the midnight opossum parade
Marching down the fences we made
Little claws
Big hearts
Unafraid
Out here in the shadows
We’re brave
Yeah
The midnight opossum parade
[Verse 2]
We hang like ghosts from the branches
Upside-down kings of the trees
Snarling at the barking thunder
Playing statue till it leaves
We raid your kingdom of leftovers
Nuggets
Fries
One lonely wing
Helmet made of dented yogurt
Hear the rusted garbage sing
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Hiss if you’re hungry
Stare if you’re scared
Roll if they find you
Play cold
Play bare
Then run
Tiny thunder on the lawn
First hint of morning
We’re gone
[Chorus]
