Versuri Southern California Wants To Be Western New York
There's a part of the country could drop off
tomorrow in an earthquake,
Yeah it's out there on the cutting edge, the
people move, the sidwalks shake.
And there's another part of the country with a
land that gently creaks and thuds,
Where the heavy snows make faucets leak in
bathrooms with free-standing tubs.
They're in houses that are haunted, the with kids
who lie awake and think about
All the generations past who used to use that
dripping sink.
And sometimes one place wants to slip into the
other just to see
What it's like to trade its demons for the
restless ghost of Mrs. Ogilvey,
She used to pick the mint from her front yard to
dress the Sunday pork,
Sometimes southern California wants to be western
New York.
It wants to have a family business in sheet metal
or power tools,
It wants to have a diner where the coffee tastes
like diesel fuel,
And it wants to find the glory of a town they say
has hit the skids,
And it wants to have a snow day that will turn
its parents into kids,
And it's embarrassed, but it's lusting after a
SUNY student with mousy brown hair who is
Taking out the compost, making coffee in long
underwear.
And southern California says to save a place,
I'll meet you there,
And it tried to pack up its Miata, all it could
fit was a prayer,
Sometimes the stakes are bogus, sometimes the
fast lane hits a fork,
Sometimes southern California wants to be western
New York.
Tempe, Arizona thinks the Everglades are greener
and wetter,
And Washington, D. C. thinks that Atlanta
integrated better,
But I think that southern California has more
pain that we can say,
Cause it wants to travel back in time, but it
just can't leave L. A.
But now I hear they've got a theme park planned,
designed to make you gasp and say,
Oh, I bet that crumbling mill town was a booming
mill town in its day,
And the old investors scoff at this, but the
young ones hope they'll take a chance,
And they promise it will make more dough than
Mickey Mouse in northern France,
And the planners planned an opening day, a town
historian will host,
And the waitresses look like waitresses who want
to leave for the west coast.
And they'll have puttering on rainy weekends,
autumn days that make you feel sad,
They'll have hundred year old plumbing and the
family you never had,
And a Hudson River clean-up concert and a
bundle-bearing stork,
And I hear they've got a menu planned, it's trés
western New York.
