lyrics

Sucking hard on my cigarette
Walking to work, but I'm not there yet
Sun blasts the pavement with its clear laser light
But the concrete's still gray and I'm far from all right
I suppose in the country the air is still clean
In the early morning dew you can see where you've been
Across the field and on to the school
Or by the byre near the granite-clear pool

Stomped both my feet like a temperance entertainer
Shook carbon dew from my gray Nike trainers
Watched as a rabbit with a Volkswagen logo
Stumbled as he woke him, a urine-smelling hobo
You can say I've missed my country and town
But I can't see the sun 'cause the docks is going down
Out in the parlor where the latte costs five pounds
I can't hear my iPod for the baying of the hounds
