Remains - Restorations

If I remember that right, we were standing in the rain

Burning that slim slick night down as the results came in

I felt the ground pull me closer down, felt the call of my youth

When they ask you where you’re from, you tell them the truth

One day we’ll all be condos

We’ll all be gutted and clean

My predawn nightmare is your all day daydream

When blue lights drive by, they never stop for me

When they ask you where you’re from, you tell them the truth

When they ask you where you’re from, you say you don’t know

When they ask you where you’re from, you tell them the truth

When they ask you where you’re from, you say you don’t know

Mind versus hunger, they taught you to sell

Oh no

And now you can’t afford to live in the town you were born in

When they ask you where you’re from, you tell them the truth:

You don’t know, you don’t know

And who does anymore?

If I remember that right, we were standing in the rain
