O New England
The Decemberists

We'd come seven hours downnTook the blue line to see where we hopped outnAnd I was only joking, and I was only jokingnAnd I was only trying to get a laughnnYou say this was the furthest that we had comenTravel so far to watch it fall, undonenAnd I had lost my tokennYou were looking bent and brokennStaring sideways with the rain coming downnnBut I am so enthrallednO New EnglandnLa da dum danO New EnglandnLa da dum dumnnThis here is the fable of a failed attemptn(Fable, failed attempt now)nFind new life in a love in the seat of its originn(Failed attempt, now)nnFrom Long to Coney IslandnFrom mid to west to upper HighlandnAnd all I got is this ill-gotten, full-colour souvenirnnThe new millennium in New YorknAnd all of New EnglandnLa da dum dumnO New EnglandnO New EnglandnIn the face of your empirenI think I'd rather just wait in the carnAnd return to the turnpike nWatching the New England skyline sinking belownSinking belownnWe'd come seven hours downn(We'd come seven hours down)nWe'd come seven hours downn(We'd come seven hours down)
