Backyard - Good Lovelies

We were sitting in our backyard

Waiting for the stars to show

But the city lights shine too far

On and on the grey skies glow

Took my bike out on Harvard Street

Rode up Atlers to Saint Clair

Started countin' cars surrounding me

My lungs burstin' for some cleaner air

It was sadder than the morning doe

Much funnier than a clown

But when push comes to shove

Oh, I still love this town

Do do do do

Do do do do

Do do do do do do do do

I was waitin' on the eastbound train

Headed out to see the suburbs

When I thought I heard my name

It was just a crazy lady slurrin' words

It was sadder than a weepin' willow

As silly as a dog with a bone

But when you ask me 'bout it

I’ll still call this my home

Do do do do

Do do do do do do do do

Oh oh

Do do do do

Do do do do do do do do

Early mornin' on a Saturday

The bustle wakes us up in bed

Construction, trucks, kids in the park at play

No quiet place to lay our heads

I was madder than the old hatter

I was crazy as the Cheshire Cat

But when we get to the heart of the matter

This is where I’ll hang my hat

Do do do do

Do do do do do do do do

Oh oh

Do do do do

Do do do do do do do do (x2)
