lyrics
Spirits in the basement speak to soccer moms
With an ancient, good witches code
There’s a general store
Hey, don’t bust the screen door
What’s your hurry for?
You’re only ten years old
City boy on a train ride through the country
Where the rivers are as wide as his eyes
Side by side, the chapel with the forbidden apple
And the weeping willow only sighs
Paint the yellows and the reds of autumn
Convey the stillness of bar-code trees
Or that Bonnie & Clyde car
Rusting in the shade
Where they swerved off the road
So long ago
There’s a green blanket that rolls over the hills
And valleys of this heartbreaking land
She left metropolis
To make a home here
But one day
She’ll paint the desert sands
City boy on a train ride through the country
Where the rivers are as wide as his eyes
Side by side, the chapel with the forbidden apple
And the weeping willow only sighs
Don’t let it bug you that you’re not behind the wheel
New England hugs you like a real grandfather
And you know you’ll never stay here - It’s way too nice
Try and find a place where you belong
So all aboard the choo-choo
You know it behooves you
They say love is on the loose
Broke out of the caboose
All the way through New Haven
With the yankee doodle dandies
Commuters headed further
Than the Amtrak goes
There are no tracks there
I bet you can relax there
Neath the swaying palms
With the boom boxes on
