lyrics

Alma wakes up with the sun
Almost every day almost every day almost every day
Knows the trick is to try and get shit done
before the sky goes grey before the sky goes grey

Now she’s been happy her whole life
and we love to hate her for it
we love to hate her for it
Not a mother, not a wife
and we love to hate her for it
Yeah, we love to hate her for it

But while we keep sleeping
Alma’s in the garden in the garden in the garden
In the garden
And while we keep weeping
Alma’s in the garden in the garden
Alma’s in the garden

Hmmm
Humming to herself
Hmmm
Humming humming humming humming
Hmmm
Just humming to herself
Hmmm Hmmm
Humming

Alma recalls all the dogs she’s had
Luis, Paloma, Frijoles
It makes her smile
No, it doesn’t make her sad
Fernando, Gordita
Aw: Gordita

Now she’s been happy her whole life
and we blame her for that, we blame her for that
No one’s mother, no one’s wife
And we got a name for that
Yeah, we got a name for that

And while we keep scrolling
Alma’s in the garden
And while our eyes keep rolling
Alma’s in the garden

Oh
Singing to her herself
Oh
It’s a song without words
Oh Oh
For the buds, for the birds
Oh Oh Oh

Have I
Have I been played?
Stuck in the bed I made?
Stuck in the bed I made?
Am I stuck in the bed
The bed I made?

While we keep sleeping
Alma
While we keep weeping
Alma’s in Alma’s in
While we keep wishing
Alma Alma
While we keep bitchin’
Alma
Alma’s in

The garden
Oh
Singing to herself
The garden
Oh
It’s a song without words
Oh doh doh
Oh doh doh doh doh doh doh doh
It’s for her, it’s for her
Oh doh doh
Oh doh doh doh doh doh doh

Alma wakes up with the sun
Almost every day almost every day almost every day
Almost every day
