AmericanaramaHey Philadelphia you used to exist
As a city in the North-East where the Power used to sit
There's no more Chicago
She went down with the last of the buffalo
Poor weak New Orleans
She went first and we didn't even hear her scream no
Denver U.S.A
you came down from the top of the mountain
Born YesterdayI had my head
Kicked in by a wild love
And it drained
The colour outta my blood
I'd smell her sweat
On every man that I'd see
And I'd wake up sick from drugging myself to sleep
Desire 126Oh how she loved the smell of dandelions, she had
That golden springtime hair
Her daddy voted for the stubborn side, the lying guys
But I did not care
You see?
Sometimes there's people you meet
That stay a while and then they go
Do the doot da doot dooJD lives on my street, stole his fathers car
Drove it through the garage door
So poor now working at the corner store
Indentured to the damages, Manotick, and finishing school.
Fake DrugsFake drugs, get yourself that stereo
Downtown, shopping like an animal
My, my, you gone and got yourself so high
Like new roommates, at first it's so agreeable
Fake drugs, creep up like the sunrise
Time drags, under grey and purple skies
Turn tricks, get yourself a quick fix
Got To LoseSunday morn has a-broken
Like a whip on my back
And we still have not spoken
Since the day that I left
You got to lose love if you want to find love
You got to lose, you got to lose
JulietteHollerado - Juliette
She's got house plants to keep her company
Bought her a goldfish - she named it after me.
We look at old photographs of lovers come and gone
I ask her if it makes her sad she said son you've got so much to learn
