take a walk down mercer on a sunny afternoon
count the cranes and know that it will all be changin soon
well i guess i been changin too
weave amongst construction sites on union, pike, and pine
well i used to know these dirty streets, i used to call them mine
knowing i was theirs as well
but time and distance cut the same and tendrils of possession retreat
and i won't lie and say that i don't miss it when i visit but the lights don't shine the same
guess i been gone too long; everything has changed about the place that i am from
old familiar streets look wrong to my eyes
but life goes on discreetly; i can tell this place don't need me no more
and the grass was always green until they cut it down and built a place for wealthy folks to spend their money
i met you at bauhaus by the bridge across I-5
drinkin kool-aid and black coffee til they called for closing time
well they never opened up again
and then you played at the josephine and you took off all your clothes
had a busted synthesizer that you fingered with your toes
and you smoked a cigarette each song
well the josephine is history and bauhaus is a gutted frame
and i saw these changes coming but i guess i always hoped that maybe you'd still be the same
guess i been gone too long; everything has changed about the place that i am from
even my old friends been movin on with their lives
though there still remains a mystery, uncertainty of what's to come next
and i do concede the part of me that loves the way things used to be don't always know what's best
and it don't keep me away; i find myself believin i'll be comin back someday
a person is defined by the place that they're from
and growing's about changing and it's strange and rearranging is hard
and if i go back it would be not through the lens of memory that i gaze upon streets no longer mine
