Pavement cracks follow a tree root path
Underneath a parked car across the street and back
The outline looks a little like a ring of fire that has already burned through half
Pavement cracks follow a tree root path
Sitting in the back seat of an orange cab
Listening for the war to start, listening for the siren of a breaking heart
Quiet, content, and happy with what I had
Sitting in the back seat of an orange cab
Check the time on my phone, then put away my reading glasses
Open up the window, and lean back on head rest, as the evening passes
I remember when I was sitting over there on the opposite side
Check the time on my phone, then put away my reading glasses
I remember when the sun was still shining
I remember when the wind didn’t howl so much
I remember when the mark wasn’t on my back
I remember when the light didn’t weigh so much -- The light didn’t weigh so much
Sometimes the block used to lose power, when the train used to roll on by
Until they put the wires underground, built a wall for us all to live our lives behind
I always thought the train was there to remind us of the things we might like to try
But the block used to lose power, when the train used to roll on by
So now we take a cab, when we want to go away
So now we take a cab, when we want to go away

In a café, on a beach in mexico
Radio competes with the mariachi band
Familiar song from the 60s, that you always used to hear every time your plane would land
And we’d all start singing along
When the mariachi band headed into the kitchen
Dusty Springfield was singing of her hopin’ and her wishin’
