They came into the village
From Philadelphia
To see what they don't show you
The real America

They put the car in H
It was meant to be a Jeep
One flight-sick in the footwell
One driving through the sleep
He says "where am I?"
"Where am I?"

"Well I think I'm in the valley
That my head goes to at night
Am I just a tourist
Or have I found my hiraeth?
I don't know
I don't know
I don't rightly know"
He drives into the night with this in tow

And the sun comes up 6 hours into the future
In the place where the worries hide
And terminal fog is never-ending
Ohio, Iowa and Hawaii
Are deaf to their good times
The travelling companions
Only hear the Amherst chimes

One musing on ambition
Says "Home Depot's not for work.
I'd rather dress as lady Liberty
And dance along to Kraftwerk
'Vitamin'
'Vitamin'

And when I heard 'Poison Arrow'
In the candle factory
You'll forgive me for assuming
That our plane fell in the sea
Is this paradise?
Could be paradise
Have I realised
You can be there while you're still alive?"

The root beer washes out all their confusion
To leave more of its own
Just like the Wiggatons and artwork
A lion leaves a footprint in the snow
With a second far behind
But the travelling companions, they don't mind

There's a whole life up ahead of them to worry
And work out who they are
They left all their fears in Terminal 3
Ohio, Iowa and Hawaii
Ohio, Wyoming, and Hawaii
Are deaf to their good times
The travelling companions only hear
Amherst chimes

Our intrepid heroes only hear
Amherst chimes
