《Southern California Wants To Be Western New York》歌词

[00:00:00] Southern California Wants To Be Western New York - Dar Williams
[00:00:07] There's a part of the country
[00:00:09] Could drop off tomorrow in an earthquake
[00:00:12] Yeah it's out there on the cutting edge
[00:00:16] The people move the sidewalks shake
[00:00:19] And there's another part of the country
[00:00:21] With a land that gently creaks and thuds
[00:00:25] Where the heavy snows make faucets leak
[00:00:28] In bathrooms with free-standing tubs
[00:00:31] They're in houses that are haunted
[00:00:34] With the kids who lie awake and think about
[00:00:38] All the generations past
[00:00:40] Who used to use that dripping sink
[00:00:47] Sometimes one place wants
[00:00:49] To slip into the other just to see
[00:00:52] What it's like to trade its demons
[00:00:55] For the restless ghost of Mrs Ogilvy
[00:00:59] Used to pick the mint from her front yard
[00:01:03] To dress the Sunday pork
[00:01:05] Sometimes southern California wants
[00:01:08] To be western New York
[00:01:14] Wants to have a family business
[00:01:16] In sheet metal or power tools
[00:01:19] And it wants to have a diner
[00:01:22] Where the coffee tastes like diesel fuel
[00:01:26] And it wants to find the glory of a town
[00:01:29] They say has hit the skids
[00:01:32] And it wants to have a snow day
[00:01:35] That will turn its parents into kids
[00:01:38] And it's embarrassed but it's lusting
[00:01:41] After a suny student with mousy brown hair who is
[00:01:45] Taking out the compost
[00:01:47] Making coffee in long underwear
[00:01:54] And southern California says
[00:01:56] To save a place I'll meet you there
[00:02:00] And it tried to pack up its miata
[00:02:03] All it could fit was a prayer
[00:02:07] Sometimes the stakes are bogus
[00:02:09] Sometimes the fast lane hits a fork
[00:02:12] Sometimes southern California wants
[00:02:16] To be western New York
[00:02:21] Tempe Arizona thinks the Everglades
[00:02:25] Are greener and wetter
[00:02:27] And Washington D C thinks
[00:02:29] That Atlanta integrated better
[00:02:32] But I think that southern California
[00:02:36] Has more pain that we can say
[00:02:39] 'Cause it wants to travel back in time
[00:02:42] But it just can't leave L A
[00:02:50] But now I hear they've got a theme park planned
[00:02:53] Designed to make you gasp and say
[00:02:56] Bet that crumbling mill town
[00:02:59] Was a booming mill town in its day
[00:03:02] Old investors scoff at this but the young ones
[00:03:06] Hope they'll take a chance
[00:03:08] And they promise it will make more dough
[00:03:12] Than Mickey Mouse in northern France
[00:03:15] And the planners got an opening day
[00:03:18] A town historian will host
[00:03:21] And the waitresses look like waitresses
[00:03:24] Who want to leave for the West Coast
[00:03:30] And they'll have puttering on rainy weekends
[00:03:33] Autumn days that make you feel sad
[00:03:36] They'll have hundred year old plumbing
[00:03:39] And the family you never had
[00:03:42] And a Hudson River clean-up concert
[00:03:46] And a bundle-bearing stork
[00:03:48] And I hear they've got a menu planned
[00:03:52] It's tray western New York western New York
