1955
If youre feeling low then give it a go
You know when youre doing a song about a small town
Try Lamberts Sniffing Salts today
You gotta start it with a cliché you know what Im sayin
Like
Time moves a little slower here
The paint peels cause the summers here are so severe
And were nowhere near nowhere you would know of
Locals here ride they show up just to show off
Old men take a load off just to watch the day go by
Philosophising with their friends like theyre Plato
They prophecies on the bench by the main road right
They got advice Im like ayo if you say so guys
But what do they know fox news got em lit
Theyre shook cause fundamentalist the new communist
Old girl with her shopping list clutch her handbag close
Im like damn maam Dan this old bag has jokes
Cause Im a gentleman but then again most of us are
First name basis in the bank the post office the bar
The grocer the park so lady I aint tryna grab your pension
The old men on the bench hum
Direct from the transistor radio in your lounge room
Its the entertainment that the whole family can enjoy
Well I say looking slick will do the trick
So try Barrys Brylcreem today
Well lets go lets go
Were living in the days when everybody sayin
What a time to be alive
But Im feeling out of place like I live in outer space
Cause it seems Im stuck in time
Its like we ride through life
Right in the shadow of the cold war
It gets so quiet at night
Like martial law took a hold yall 55
Time moves a little slower here
A day feels like a week
A week it feels like it could go a year
And were nowhere near nothing man its so true
I dont tell em where Im from I tell em where Im close to
And I can go through an atlas and show you on a map but
Youd still look me sideways and treat me like Im backwards
But thats just fine it so happens Im
Happy living in a city that is trapped in time
While youre lined up in traffic Im
Not panicked bout transit Im back in time
For a TV dinner and an early night
Cause we get dressed to travel got an early flight
Been doing laps of the earth while doing laps of the sun
Tryna put where Im at on the map cause where Im from
We never get a mention but all that and then some
Once again the old men on the bench hum
And across the country they came in waves
Thousands upon thousands of flying
Discs descending from the planet Mars
For the closest shave try a Wilsons razor today
Well lets go lets go
Were living in the days when everybody sayin
What a time to be alive
But Im feeling out of place like I live in outer space
Cause it seems Im stuck in time
Its like we ride through life
Right in the shadow of the cold war
It gets so quiet at night
Like martial law took a hold yall 55
Where I go where I go
This will always be home no matter
Where I go where I go
This will always be home no matter
Where I go where I go
This will always be home no matter
Where I go where I go
This will always be home
If you cant beat the summer heat
Then what you need is a wordells
Wordell refrigerators the cooler choice
The dieting revolution taking the world by storm
Well Montaigne lets go
Were living in the days when everybody sayin
What a time to be alive
But Im feeling out of place like I live in outer space
Cause it seems Im stuck in time
Its like we ride through life
Right in the shadow of the cold war
It gets so quiet at night
Like martial law took a hold yall 55
