Ezra Furman & The Harpoons - Springfield, IL lyrics

In a shining white hotel room in Springfield, Il I found myself a real sentimental boy At the bars I look for girls Who look like they've been crying Those are the girls I wanna make them mine Child, you better look around There's a reason you're in Springfield town And child, there's a lesson to learn Look there's my friend in a trench coat and a wine gla** in his hand My heart sings a song of a forgotten land He's reading the sports section and I'm reading the comics Big bad world makes me wanna vomit I can feel my soul escaping out my mouth I can't tell if it's headed North or South Child, as your madness grows You'll find out what the lonely ones know And child, pick your clothes out and get dressed Springfield is blooming in this weather, and it's opening to reveal The secrets and lies that all cities conceal I looked at the beast in all its fury, and its mouth opened wide I could see the big lonely inside All the lonely people live in a world where no one sees their face I hope they know I live in the same place
