lyrics

So everything begins and ends
And then it begins and ends again
Black hole minds, memory minefields
And nobody's even listening
Dear city, I gave you a year
But home ain't supposed to feel so weird
Dinosaur hill, dead presidents
Two out of fifteen's pretty clear

All these roads I used to know
Now I'm lost wherever I go
But every Thursday the locals meet
At the corner of Kansas City and 7th Street

Looking forward and hesitating
Hoping falling wishing waiting
Oasis Lounge, garden of reptiles
The world just goes on rotating
Wilson Park lost all its luster
Faults and failures of General Custer
New central square, Mountain Meadow Road
All the strength that I can muster

Chorus

It's old folks and young parents
It's a good place to be born or die
But I never knew its true merits
I'll never go back
I promise you that
So take back your damn string
And your carrot

Chorus

I used to know this place over
Like my hand turned over
It overturned my world
I met my girl and left sober
The nights left
Where liquor dreamt for me
The symphony
Of nights left at the bar
Sinfully
And my hands full enough with
Having fun
No time for school left
I was a fool on the run
Hemorrhaging the money
Please somebody call the nun
Before I dip anymore into
Receding state funds
And all the fun that I had
Was a blast while it lasted
But now when I go back
I can't get plastered
Something so lost about this town I left
I cannot even speak on it
Because my palate left cleft

Chorus
