Holland Tunnel

Lyrics

The Holland Tunnel's two miles long Sink into the aviary, sing another song And put that sewn-on patch to denim jacket Coffee cup to sugar packet Insane feast and beastly racket every single time When you feel like somethin's wrong Bear in your sweet mind the sun'll shine until it's gone When your lives collide in dull crescendo Telescope to bedroom window Nervous knees and anxious elbows I fell asleep in the back seat and not for the life of me Could I remember a time more complete But I guess things seem more important When you're underwater Disease and disorder seep out to the sea And you don't have to believe Every angry thing everybody says No you don't believe every stupid thing If every city's made of clay Towering scraps of something someone someday throws away It must get hard to keep track of everyone What their names are, where they come from Ro' Atlanta,' Manda Brooklyn, Jean from Centerline But I knew a girl who drove a cab And she took polaroids of every boy she'd ever had And she laid them out on the floor of her bedroom Resting on scarves soaked in perfume End to end for all to look through When it came my time, I saw the one of me One of my best friend, some kid from hazy weekend The entire collection with no deletions Kinda blew my mind But when we held hands on her balcony Not for the life of me Could I envision a scene more sweet But I guess things seem more important up forty stories Your cares and your worries fall down to the street And you don't have to believe Every angry thing everybody says No you don't believe every stupid thing
