[00:07.11]Try Lambert’s Sniffing Salts today"
[00:09.24]You gotta start it with a cliche, you know what I'm sayin'
[00:11.61]Time moves a little slower here
[00:14.52]The paint peels cause the summers here are so severe
[00:17.55]And we're nowhere near no where you would know of
[00:20.34]Locals here ride, they show up just to show off
[00:23.01]Old men take a load off, just to watch the day go by
[00:25.78]Philosophising with their friends like they're Plato
[00:29.10]They prophecise on the bench by the main road, right
[00:31.57]They got advice; I’m like 'Ayo, if you say so guys'
[00:34.77]But what do they know, Fox News got 'em lit
[00:37.22]They’re shook cause fundamentalist the new communist
[00:40.05]Old girl with her shopping list clutch her handbag close
[00:43.05]I’m like 'damn ma'am; Dan this old bag has jokes'

[00:54.31]The old men on the bench hum
[00:57.73]"Direct from the transistor radio in your lounge room. It’s the entertainment that the whole family can enjoy."
[01:00.60]"Well I say looking slick will do the trick so try Barry’s Brylcreem today!"
[01:08.38]Well lets go, lets go
[01:09.10]We're living in the days when everybody sayin'
[01:11.70]"What a time to be alive"
[01:13.66]But I'm feeling out of place like I live in outer space
[01:17.32]Cause it seems I'm stuck in time
[01:19.19]It's like we ride through life
[01:22.94]Right in the shadow of the cold war
[01:24.83]It gets so quiet at night
[01:27.90]Like martial law took a hold y'all, '55
[01:32.08]Time moves a little slower here
[01:34.53]A day feels like a week, a week it feels like it could go a year
[01:37.40]And we're nowhere near nothing, man it's so true
[01:40.34]I don't tell 'em where I'm from, I tell 'em where I'm close to
[01:43.14]And I can go through an Atlas and show you on a map but
[01:46.53]You'd still look me sideways and treat me like I'm backwards
[01:48.90]But that's just fine, it so happens I'm
[01:52.00]Happy living in a city that is trapped in time
[01:54.72]While you're lined up in traffic I'm
[01:57.34]Not panicked 'bout transit, I'm back in time
[01:59.52]For a TV dinner and an early night
[02:02.51]Cause we get dressed to travel, got an early flight
[02:05.48]Been doing laps of the earth while doing laps of the sun
[02:08.20]Tryna put where I'm at on the map cause where I'm from
[02:11.84]We never get a mention, but all that and then some
[02:14.42]Once again the old men on the bench hum
[02:17.22]"[?] across the country they came in waves. Thousands upon thousands of flying discs descending from the planet Mars."
[02:23.76]"For the closest shave try a Wilson’s razor today."
[02:28.40]Well lets go, lets go
[02:29.03]We're living in the days when everybody sayin'
[02:33.50]"What a time to be alive"
[02:34.19]But I'm feeling out of place like I live in outer space
[02:37.43]Cause it seems I'm stuck in time
[02:39.17]It's like we ride through life
[02:42.64]Right in the shadow of the cold war
[02:45.02]It gets so quiet at night
[02:47.67]Like martial law took a hold y'all, '55
[02:52.18]Where I go, where I go
[02:53.25]This will always be home, no matter
[02:57.40]Where I go, where I go
[03:02.17]This will always be home, no matter
[03:03.25]Where I go, where I go

[03:25.54]Well Montaigne lets go
[03:26.08]We're living in the days when everybody sayin'
[03:28.98]"What a time to be alive"
[03:30.86]But I'm feeling out of place like I live in outer space
[03:34.14]Cause it seems I'm stuck in time
[03:36.30]It's like we ride through life
[03:40.11]Right in the shadow of the cold war
