lyrics

There’s more to this state than a red marine insect
Far more cold that the summer crowd would expect
Depression sets in when the February sun drops
Remain strong and finish indoor projects

I saw the world back then
And I see it all right now
Pushed into a corner with no window
But we have the know-how

Let’s run away, my friend
A quiet town calls again
There’s honesty among pine trees
Standing tall until the end

This old town was a well-kept secret
Overthrown by Williamsburg rejects
Number twenty-three in a line of born winners
Your home in this world will always be suspect

I saw the world back then
And I see it all right now
Pushed into a corner with no window
But we have the know-how

Let’s run away, my friend
A quiet town calls again
There’s honesty among pine trees
Standing tall until the end

Tourmaline
And evergreen
Drive-in screens
And gasoline
Tourmaline
And evergreen
Drive-in screens
And gasoline

Let’s run away, my friend
A quiet town calls again
There’s honesty among pine trees
Standing tall until the end
