lyrics

when you scrunch up your nose just like that
just like you did in the picture of when you were four
with your mickey mouse ears on and your eyes cast down
and to the left side with a little smile turning
the corner of your mouth up just like that
if you had a completely different life
would you still be the same?

someone dropped the needle on lou reed
he was talking about walking on the wild side
i could feel the cold coming in from outside
through the thin window pane
and everybody's laughing in the kitchen
i'm just leaned against the wall
then i heard the floor boards creaking
as you came across the floor

i drove the blue goose two days without stopping
had a hitcher with a long distance girlfriend
i dropped him off in cleveland
and i set out for maine
you were sitting on the stoop when i pulled in
you had such an easy smile
after all those miles it wasn't so hard
to know what to do

the future will never find a way in here
cause i got no electricity
but i'll leave a lamp burning for you my dear
just to find your way home
