Backyard

[00:16.27] We were sitting in our backyard,
[00:20.02] Waiting for the stars to show.
[00:23.86] But the city lights shine too far
[00:27.30] On and on the grey skies glow.
[00:40.47] Took my bike out on Harvard Street,
[00:44.43] Rode up Atlers to Saint Clair,
[00:48.26] Started countin' cars surrounding me,
[00:51.56] My lungs burstin' for some cleaner air.
[00:55.71] It was sadder than the morning doe,
[00:59.39] Much funnier than a clown.
[01:03.73] But when push comes to shove,
[01:07.12] Oh, I still love this town.
[01:11.17] Do do do do
[01:13.22] Do do do do
[01:19.43] Do do do do do do do do
[01:27.34] I was waitin' on the eastbound train,
[01:30.93] Headed out to see the suburbs,
[01:34.39] When I thought I heard my name.
[01:37.89] It was just a crazy lady slurrin' words.
[01:42.29] It was sadder than a weepin' willow.
[01:45.66] As silly as a dog with a bone.
[01:49.86] But when you ask me 'bout it,
[01:53.83] I'll still call this my home.
[01:57.54] Do do do do
[01:59.44] Do do do do do do do do
[02:04.02] Oh oh
[02:05.77] Do do do do
[02:07.88] Do do do do do do do do
[02:13.60] Early mornin' on a Saturday,
[02:17.14] The bustle wakes us up in bed.
[02:20.61] Construction, trucks, kids in the park at play,
[02:24.17] No quiet place to lay our heads.
[02:28.56] I was madder than the old hatter,
[02:32.17] I was crazy as the Cheshire Cat,
[02:36.17] But when we get to the heart of the matter,
[02:40.33] This is where I'll hang my hat.
[02:44.20] Do do do do
[02:46.13] Do do do do do do do do
[02:50.90] Oh oh
[02:52.22] Do do do do
[02:53.93] Do do do do do do do do (x2)
[03:17.44]
