You know when you're doing a song about a small town
You gotta start it with a cliche, you know what I'm sayin'
You gotta start it with a cliche, you know what I'm sayin'
Time moves a little slower here
The paint peels cause the summers here are so severe
And we're nowhere near no where you would know of
locals here pride, they show up just to show off
take a load off, just to watch the day go by
Philosophising with their friends like they're Plato
They prophesize on the bench by the main road, right
They got advice I'm like if you say so guys
But what do they know
fox news got em lit fundamentalist the new communist
A girl with a shopping list, clutch her handbag close
I'm like "damn man, then it's all backhand jokes
Cause I'm a gentlemen, but then again most of are
First name basis in the bank, the post-office, the bar
The grocery, parks, Hey lady I ain't tryna grab your pension
The old men on the bench
The paint peels cause the summers here are so severe
And we're nowhere near no where you would know of
locals here pride, they show up just to show off
take a load off, just to watch the day go by
Philosophising with their friends like they're Plato
They prophesize on the bench by the main road, right
They got advice I'm like if you say so guys
But what do they know
fox news got em lit fundamentalist the new communist
A girl with a shopping list, clutch her handbag close
I'm like "damn man, then it's all backhand jokes
Cause I'm a gentlemen, but then again most of are
First name basis in the bank, the post-office, the bar
The grocery, parks, Hey lady I ain't tryna grab your pension
The old men on the bench
Well lets go, lets go
We're living in the days when everybody sayin'
"What a time to be alive"
But I'm feeling out of place like I live in outer space
Cause it seems I'm stuck in time
It's like we ride through life
Right in the shadow of the cold war
It gets so quiet at night
Like martial law took a hold your '55
We're living in the days when everybody sayin'
"What a time to be alive"
But I'm feeling out of place like I live in outer space
Cause it seems I'm stuck in time
It's like we ride through life
Right in the shadow of the cold war
It gets so quiet at night
Like martial law took a hold your '55
Time moves a little slower here
A day feels like a week, a weekend feels like it could go a year
And we're nowhere near nothing man, it's so true
I don't tell 'em where I'm from, I tell 'em where I'm close to
And I can go through an Atlas, and show you on a map and
You'd still look me sideways and treat me like I'm backwards
But that's just fine, it so happens
Cos' I'm happy living in a city that's trapped in time
While you're lined up in traffic
I'm not panicked by transit, I'm back in time
for a TV Dinner and an early night
'Cos we get dressed to travel, got an early flight
Been doin' laps of the earth, we're doin' laps of the sun
A day feels like a week, a weekend feels like it could go a year
And we're nowhere near nothing man, it's so true
I don't tell 'em where I'm from, I tell 'em where I'm close to
And I can go through an Atlas, and show you on a map and
You'd still look me sideways and treat me like I'm backwards
But that's just fine, it so happens
Cos' I'm happy living in a city that's trapped in time
While you're lined up in traffic
I'm not panicked by transit, I'm back in time
for a TV Dinner and an early night
'Cos we get dressed to travel, got an early flight
Been doin' laps of the earth, we're doin' laps of the sun
Tryna put where i'm at on a map, cos' where I'm from
we never get a mention but all that and then some
Once again the old men on the bench
we never get a mention but all that and then some
Once again the old men on the bench
Well lets go, lets go
We're living in the days when everybody sayin'
"What a time to be alive"
But I'm feeling out of place like I live in outer space
Cause it seems I'm stuck in time
We're living in the days when everybody sayin'
"What a time to be alive"
But I'm feeling out of place like I live in outer space
Cause it seems I'm stuck in time
It's like we ride through life
Right in the shadow of the cold war
It gets so quiet at night
Like martial law took a hold of '55
Right in the shadow of the cold war
It gets so quiet at night
Like martial law took a hold of '55
Where I go, where I go
This will always be home, no matter
Where I go, where I go
This will always be home, no matter
Where I go, where I go
This will always be home, no matter
Where I go, where I go
This will always be home, no matter
Where I go, where I go
This will always be home
Where I go, where I go
This will always be home, no matter
Where I go, where I go
This will always be home
Well Montaigne lets go
We're living in the days when everybody sayin'
"What a time to be alive"
But I'm feeling out of place like I live in outer space
Cause it seems I'm stuck in time
It's like we ride through life
Right in the shadow of the cold war
It gets so quiet at night
Like martial law took a hold your '55
We're living in the days when everybody sayin'
"What a time to be alive"
But I'm feeling out of place like I live in outer space
Cause it seems I'm stuck in time
It's like we ride through life
Right in the shadow of the cold war
It gets so quiet at night
Like martial law took a hold your '55
