Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I envy the quiet lives that for all I know don't exist outside of a lazy book That won a Pulitzer Prize I picked up 'cause you said it opened up your eyes I'm wired now And will be 'till I find a person who can eat at the Empire Grill Who's seen a black Mercedes at the textile mill And spreads the word to all the folks depression hasn't killed I'll follow that car down to Boston And ask what it wanted in Maine Coffee at least for my trouble And I'll be a hero if I came back with something to say Too late They wouldn't like me there And though they might not mind my inquisitive stare Every single one of them is too polite to care why I'm enchanted by a way of life in disrepair But I'm not talking apple pie eating Jack and Coke drinking Hopeful lie telling Anywhere, America Through camera eyes On a Hollywood body that could make you all cry Maybe I'll go to the movies A comedy would be ideal Something that probably won't happen 'Cause this made up town is much too real
