1
I envy the quiet lives that for all I know don't exist
2
Outside of a lazy book that won a Pulitzer prize
3
I picked up 'cause you said, it opened up your eyes
4
I'm wired now and will be 'til I find a person who could eat at the empire grill
5
Who's seen a black Mercedes at the textile mill
6
And spreads the word to all the folks expression hasn't killed
7
I'll follow that car down to Boston ask what it wanted in Maine
8
Coffee at least for my trouble
9
I'll be a hero if I came back with something to say
10
Too late, they wouldn't like me there
11
And though they might not mind my inquisitive stare
12
Every single one of them is too polite to care
13
Why I'm enchanted by a way of life in disrepair
14
I'm not talking apple pie eating, jack and coke drinking
15
Hopeful, lie telling, anywhere America, camera eyes
16
On a Hollywood body that could make you all cry
17
Maybe I'll go to the movies, a comedy would be ideal
18
Something that probably won't happen
19
'Cause this made up town is much too real
20
I envy the quiet lives that for all I know don't exist
21
Outside of a lazy book that won a Pulitzer prize
22
I picked up 'cause you said, it opened up your eyes
