I've never been in love in this town
I never let Mendota drag me down
She says I'm pretty like a sunrise
I think she's prettier at sunset
We try to kiss over the phone lines
An orchestra of lovers humming all of Wagner's operas on castanets

No one cheers for us but no one boos
If no one's here for us then we can fill seats too

I got a ticket to see the orchestra of lovers
They all take turns being the conductor
You walk in no one talks at you like an usher
You sit down and everyone can see the stage
Now we're gazing at the medley of believers
They are in fine form combustible and eager
You can eat pretzels and drink wine through the whole show

I've never been in love in this town
I never let Monona pull me down
She says she'll visit in the springtime
If I can make it through the winter
A cold embrace over the phone lines
A medley of believers tapping out all Bach's sonatas on a dulcimer
On a dulcimer

I got a ticket to see the orchestra of lovers
They all take turns being the conductor
You walk in no one talks at you like an usher
You sit down and everyone can see the stage
Now we're gazing at the medley of believers
They are in fine form combustible and eager
You can take pictures and drink wine wine wine

And you too can pay the fifteen cents to ride on Maddie's wagon
On down to the Union Terrace where the high school kids are draggin'
From their new legal marijuana cigarettes yeah they're begging for something to happen
But they won't run naked through the streets tonight unless we really get the people clappin'
Clappin'

Lovers lovers
A ticket to see the orchestra of lovers lovers
A ticket to see the orchestra of lovers

I've never been in love in this town
Oh I never let Scott Walker gun me down
She says she wishes I were more kind
She doesn't say it but she means to
I hear a sound over the phone lines
A radio in Boston blasting every Alvvays album on a chrome kazoo
On a chrome kazoo
