Metuchen Lyrics

Along the northeast corridor
the tunnel is a muffled voice
Strangers shifting baggage past your feet
Edison's a pyrograph
in the town named as his epitaph
and everyone's got someplace else to be

When you make the move you make once
you're a bedtime story that never was
and then
it's back too far too hard then back to you

Oh no
here we go again
I know
bringin it back to you

There's nothin much to the window seat
chimneys, ash, and nothing green
to let you know you're in this garden state
Like an old friend who you realize is
full of piss and promises
The two of you will long to hold your fate

When the wheels are worn upon this track
if you break out you ain't comin back again
unless it's just to burn
I hope they know

Oh no
here we go again
I know
bringin it back to you

[Instrumental bridge]

Oh no
here we go again
I know
bringin it back to you

I know
if I wanna go home
and I wonder if
I'll ever know, ever know, ever know...
