lyrics

A one way ticket
And you, you took it
A short nap on that overnight to the land of setting sunlight
And how I asked you not to go
Remember I pleaded, “No, no, no!”

Now you’re live-tweeting your trip
Yeah now she’s got you in her grip
And it’s tearing me apart, this boring city with no scene
And maybe it’d be worth living here just to live here with me
If you ever come back to Connecticut, I’ll say

“Fuck you, California!
When you sink in the ocean, I won’t even mourn ya
Hope the fault lines collapse
And the redwoods they crash
I won’t miss you after you’re gone!”

But til then, keep her safe and sound
Cradle her in evergreen boughs
Rock her gently to sleep
In a route one back seat

And bring her back home east safely to me

The chance of a lifetime
And who in their right mind
Wouldn’t want to leave their home
For a job halfway around the globe?
And I cried when you were leaving
I was heartbroke, and lonely, I was grieving

But remember that I still helped you pack
And hugged your mom at the Amtrak
And now it’s tearing me apart
This country’s prisoner I feel
But maybe one day you’ll take a good look in that rearview
And if you ever come back to America, I’ll say

“Fuck you, Japan!
With your rock candy metal bands
I hope your technology backfires
Then you are all quagmired
In a robot war until the end of time!”

But til then, keep her safe and sound
Cherry blossoms falling gently all around
With a warm cup of tea
On the cold nights, or hot sake

Then she’ll stumble home drunkenly to me… to me… to me… to me…
