Lyrics
The Xerox hum in Bishop Steiner's office at 4:03 in the afternoon.
The smell of warm toner and the low sun through the vestibule.
The vinyl on the waiting-room chair sticking to my summer legs.

[Verse 2]

[Chorus]
We're just volunteer crops now, you and me.
Growing up through the cracks in the testimony.
[Outro]
Growing in the dark now.
Growing where they cannot see.
