lyrics

so you want to know what my life has been,
in two thousand and seven?
well i started way up north
livin' with a venuzuelan homo
named Angelo
in french canada where it always snows
and where i'd always wanted to go
there was a bright eyed beauty
on the other end of the phone
i drifted among the old architecture
then slept in a room with no furniture

back to college, back to barns, and colonial dorms
for another term spent getting to know my mind
friends and lovers falling by the wayside
by the time there was mud
my boots had already sunk

i searched in my hometown all through june
for romance under the summer moon
i came outta that with nothing but a plaid tophat
bringing roald dahl to life in the parks in the mornings
i ate a lot of vegetables, i drank a lot of ridiculously good beer
i wrote letters and postcards, i shredded on my old electric guitar
the northwest is where i belong
making zines and making songs

return to new england, to maple syrup and dancing
to strange isolation and constant creating
global warming pissed me off
so did all the kids who talk about williamsburg lofts
this year was a tornado
just going with the flow..
so i watched the new snowflakes blow
and decided to follow...
to the west they blew,
so i flew
back to you
