lyrics

spiney and spirally,
sappy and firey
pinecones (pinecones)
our bodies felt warm beside the flame
crunchy and pokey,
ya burn 'em they're smokey,
they're pinecones (pinecones)
the ash in the air spelled our yer name

and they twist, and they roll
and they'll conify your soul
found a pinecone
that was glowin' through the scales
was a hell of a rid,
when we dared to crawl inside
all the colors and visions whizzin' by
and the alien sang
in a cozy southen twang
embrace love, everything else is a shame

awoke in a flurry,
we left in a hurry,
that pinecone (pinecone)
i thought we had left it in the snow
got back to our pad,
she reached into her bag,
there's that pinecone (pinecone)
and it's glowing even brighter than before

and when we jumped in
pine needles poked our skin
burning tree sap enveloped us alive
but before we could cry
demon birds pecked out our eyes
we were sure that we'd met our demise
and the alien said with a pitchfork to our heads
RETURN THE PINECONE
OR SOON YOU'LL BOTH BE DEAD

woke up in a terror
we realized our error
that pinecone (pinecone)
belonged in the woods
that was it's home
and so we returned it
and then we burned it
that pinecone (pinecone)
turned to ash as the fire warmed our bones

*guitar solo*

as we kissed in the night
we knew that alien was right
embrace love,
but don't hold on too tight
