LYRICS:
Traveling home at the end of the road
with nothing to show but a promise
the radio playing loudly
the twenty-first century’s gone too proudly
All the wasted time we spent doing nothing
is never really wasted at all when
West 2nd Street gets a kick in the teeth
and the East Side shows she’s sick of mending
Come alive and thrive
fill your notebook with those sketches
in the sky, these guys
only play a game of secrets and lies
severing ties with all enterprise
has yet to bring her back from the war
she’s been waging—sometimes staging
as the radio screams “honey, you’re alright”
But that was then, and this is now
as she contemplates the way to know how
Seasons don’t change the way they did
back when I was rich
back when fixing ditches was impossibility
tranquility amiss and downtrodden forbidden
went to sailors’ joyrides that did
carry me to sea
down through Lawrence Park
as good as any man could see
tasty as ice cream at the depth of
twenty thousand leagues
Come alive and thrive
fill your notebook with those sketches
in the sky, these guys
only play a game of secrets and lies
severing ties with all enterprise
has yet to bring her back from the war
she’s been waging—sometimes staging
as the radio screams “honey, you’re alright”
