lyrics

Sweetheart, can you tell me what I need to know
about the mechanics of time or when it’s time to go
For our bodies are watches, but our watches run slow
We are builders, we are looking for the golden ratio
So long, Cincinnati; it’s been something else
You did your damndest to catch me every time that I fell
and I know I’ve been ungrateful, I know that I’ve given you hell
but though I was born by your river, I will not die in your well
Good morning, Virginia; won’t you let me turn on your lights
We always moved in the darkness and held our sins tight
I know we’ve had our problems but I didn’t come here to pick a fight
I get that I can’t keep you, but I can I just stay the night?
I know you’ve got your reasons for treating me this way
but it’s my god-given right to go a little bit insane
If you let me back in, I swear I’ll stay down below
and find a quiet place to work on the golden ratio
I’m a builder and I’m looking for the golden ratio
I’m going back to the city to find my Margaret and find my man
We’ll let him peddle his wares and buy all we can
then we’ll fall asleep laughing with our hearts in our hands
Tell all my friends that I ain’t coming home
because the word has changed so often that now the meaning is gone
and though Tennesse is lovely and though I miss Florida’s songs
I ain’t feeling clear so to stay would be wrong
No, my heart ain’t clear so to stay would be wrong
