Lyrics for So Much Beauty in Dirt as interpreted by PLANES

So Much Beauty in Dirt Lyrics
Out of breath and out of cash
Find yourself watching M.A.S.H.
Every night on the couch
Woman says, "Let's take a drive down south
Roll down the windows and open our mouths
Taste where we are and play the music loud
Stop the car, lay on the grass
The planets spin and we watch space pass
Walk a direction, see where we get
I never knew nothing so there's nothing to forget
Get real drunk and ride our bikes

There's so much beauty it could make you cry
There's so much beauty it could make you cry
There's so much beauty it could make you cry
There's so much beauty it could make you cry

The rich get money but never what they want
Find ourselves a new place to haunt
Climb up the fire escape
Do it until the ground looks far away
Go night swimming, leave our clothes on the ground
When we get busted we just stand there proud
It's the truth, we all been wrong make it up
And let's move on
Playing cards we all get to act sly

There's so much beauty it could make you cry
There's so much beauty it could make you cry
There's so much beauty it could make you cry"

Screwing god?? What the hell...

I think it's just about enjoying yourself and having a good time...even though your life may not be perfect, you're not rich, but if you can find beauty and fun in the small things then you're better off.

this song is really really beautiful. its kindof like talking shit about a pretty sunset. people never realize that there is intense beauty in the things around them and the perfect time and moment are there if youll go out and have them. theres so much beauty in dirt it could make you cry.

too often in today's society people get caught up in superficial shit. i think he is trying to say that the essence of being human, the point of life, is to recognize the beauty in everything, how everything fits together, how the universe works, and he is also saying that people need to chill out and reconsider what is really important, like having a good time.

I l-o-v-e this song. I just wish it was longer. Just random ass pieces of life that are so beautiful and lovely when you think about it. yea i agree that he's saying that people need to chill out and enjoy life, also that people need to start living their lives, no sitting on the couch every night watching MASH

To me it's more about freedom and living in the moment,and recognizing the beauty of nature. Has anybody ever REALLY looked at dirt? it's beautiful.

i agree with losingalltouch. After i heard this song, i thought about it, and i thought about isaacs other connections to nature in songs and it made me think for a long time about why we should all enjoy the beauty of the world.

i think this is a very good song

we all need to be reminded that sometimes, even in the simplest things, that there really is so much beauty that it could make you cry

I love the line "I never knew nothing so there's nothing to forget"

This song means so much, it seems so out of place on Everywhere and his Nasty Parlor Tricks to me. But this song is truely amazing, it's perfect to listen to in the car, you just see everything in a different perspective and you realize that everything truely is beatuful.

Ever since I first heard this song I've found it easier to enjoy everything. Everyone bitches about how there's nothing to do or their town sucks and is so boring... Its about appreciating everything and enjoying life and making the best of what you've got instead of wanting more.

This is the only song on the Everywhere EP that I don't like. It sounds like something off of Good News.

this song would never be on good new cause it sounds like their old stuff. good. I actually was listening to this song once, bored at home and I heard the line "get real drunk and ride our bikes" and it inspired me to meet up with a few friends and get drunk and ride bikes.... anyway I listen to this song so much.
