silver street

Now the houses are ghosts over Silver Street 'N' you've got 'em dressed up like clouds Married couples slammin' doors Bugs and praisin' the Lord And you're playin' tapes for the town Now the neighborhood's mixed And your college friends Gettin' younger ever year The wind don't blow And the grass don't grow You're never leavin' Silver Street You bought some round wire frames at a junk shop That was your trademark at school Now they're barely hangin' on And the styles are movin' on Hard for a man to stay cool Now the seasons change And the store fronts change Everythin' else stays the same The wind don't blow And the grass don't grow You're never leavin' Silver Street Well now don't get me wrong 'Cos oh I like this neighborhood And even seein' you was good But now we spent the day So completely uninspired Asking why oh why would I be tired They're fillin' the potholes in our Silver Street Wakin' the neighbors up at noon Now your friends are all on break And you're out on your brown lawn Faking a job with a broom Now the seasons change And the store fronts change Everything else stays the same The wind don't blow And the grass don't grow You're never leavin' Silver Street Never leavin' Never leavin' Never leavin' Never leavin' Oh
