Peter McPoland - Cowboy Land
Those far off cries of power lines that hum deep in the sand
The saints all sold their souls for cash and they pawned off all the priests
To the big tough guys that run the town in the loft at the end of the street
All the boys and girls back in high school can't get caught folding hands
See that sign of the cross and shit man, you're tossed to the current of the Kuykendahl dam
And that road she runs straight back in time and she doesn't know your name
So on late nights you'll see all the kids riding, making love on Lover's Lane
I lost my ma and I lost my pa to the buyers of my childhood home
Poor thеm they forgot the countertops didn't shinе like their fancy gravestones
Well dammit those are granite as well they should be, formica's a dead man's game
And the contract stated they'd be decapitated for lovin a home with no updates
I'm orphaned and morphine is rich in my blood as I walk all the avenue blocks
The doctor prescribed it 'cuz I told him I cry a bit, he told me I had shell shock
Well the bombs sure raged in Levittown, suburbia's rough these days
Yes these days are odd, but thank god for pods, god bless, the nicotine craze
So toke on your batteries and raise up a glass to the class of the 21st century
Watch the debates and the candidates race for the votes of the state penitentiary
Pack up your homes and move on out, for the world is all out of our hands
Let the parkways canonize all my friends back in Cowboy Land
