Lyrics
The bougainvillea you planted on my fence
Is turning brown since last September's rent
I watch it from my kitchen window, drinking my coffee black
Your Victory garden's got a busted back
And the good soil's cracking from the heat
[Chorus]
Your car is gone, the driveway's finally clear
So this is what winning sounds like from over here
Just the hum of the transformer on the pole
And a quiet that eats a person whole
[Verse 2]
I heard him yell, "You're killing everything good!"
Right through the drywall and the cheap pine wood
The smell of your epis doesn't drift across no more
Just the cicada-buzz from your locked front door
No more Tabou Combo on a Sunday night

Your car is gone, the driveway's finally clear
So this is what winning sounds like from over here
Just the hum of the transformer on the pole
And a quiet that eats a person whole
[Bridge]
Oh, Lord of untended things, of roots pulled up too soon
Mwen priye pou lapè under this empty moon
Was this ever good ground? Or just a pretty pot?
[Outro]
Yeah, this is what winning sounds like.
Dead quiet on your side of the fence.
