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)
