lyrics

In the Summer in that City we were art kids in our cars heading out across the highway to admire falling stars but...I know you wanna run prairie kids to the sea to the city to the shore. Night swimming in the darkness in a tangled glowing mass lighting fires with our boy scouts drinking deeply from that glass, though....I know you wanna run prairie boy, to the sea to the city to the shore. Our small midwestern college town's almost no place at all, you were 'pre-destined' for greatness, just to stay would mean to fall...fall down on grass like fur taken up in the whirlwind. All the years that passed they broke us like a plough will break the land. Now we're flailing in the ocean, now we've got no place to stand, so....there's nowhere left to run to prairie kids, not the sea. Not the greasy greasy shore.
