lyrics

carrying a heavy load
i stepped into the empty night
i got here on a greyhound’s back
crossing lakes and rusty lands

money is what built this town
born of packed meat and demand
and when the sun is water bound
a steely wall of stone will stand
greeting it most every morn
with storeys tall and futures born
i was there once just in time
lake michigan in its quiet prime

i sat in on some genius talk
inside the walls of money’s hands
the future’s looking awful dark
i might just stick to songs and bands
on the train back into town
i saw through cracks the sun would drown
soon a dreary place to be
lake michigan is the darkest sea

thinking of my only one
while drinking in the public zoo
i tried to call jeff tweedy twice
i really needed some advice

shakespeare sits in lincoln park
looking unamused and dark
wishing he was facing south
to lake michigan and its concrete mouth
