lyrics

I’ve got a new place down on Deerborn and Lake street
man it feels good to move down to the loop
I’m leaving behind all the hard times
it’s not gonna stop me from seeing Siddhārtha

the pennies they changed into dollars they grew up
just like an American dreamer should do
I waited in line success was my pride I moved to the sky
but there’s no people here
‘cause they’re all machines profit machines
and all of the souls are still down on the asphalt

my buddy JJ came to see me last evening
I gave him a tour showed him ‘round the new hood
he didn’t talk much just looked at the sky
rejected nostalgia said man I don’t know you
man I don’t know you

all of the sudden my life is a question
a whole nother race and I’m back at the start
now JJ is gone he’s mowing some lawn im in my garage
but there’s no people here
so much for the job so much for the dream
its driving away in my old limousine
