lyrics

the weather in urbana is as nice as you could ask for:
cool and easy
& here in the gaslight we dream of atlanta or new york
but the city won't release me

but the good news is i'm over it
completely over everything
just staring down the avenue
wondering what the day will bring
i'm a villain, i've got a cape and a kitten
i'll make a killing
i'll sing along to this lonely late summer song

given the money i'd pack my bags tonight
and steal out at first light
past homeowners with leafblowers
under the watchful eye of the great unknower
and in the chilly phoenix terminal call friends, tell em i'm still alive
but this is goodbye
see you guys in 2025

we don't need to make this harder than it is.

in the 6 am darkness
we feel like CEOs boarding planes in august
just waiting for the proud rooster to open
and you said it's not enough to watch the world go by
but here you are
and here it goes by

we don't mean to make this harder than it is.

we're far off the route love
into something we can't get out of
fish the size of cities beaching in the aleutians
we are torn beyond any tailor's power to patch
as bad as elvis but at least he made some scratch to show for it
we're just starving wedding singers
real small and afraid
still hoping to get paid
while the world outside bares its fangs to say

it's not alright
it's not alright
it's not alright
it's alright.
