lyrics

So they say you've been using my name in vain
Small town girl behaving like a bad cliche
On top of that, dead leaves trying to dance in a summer breeze
Now this I do not need.
Seems the only thing round here in vogue are the dreams that have been sold

So long
My time here is done
Move on

But the shackles they run deep
Far beyond the company I keep
If you're gone too long they'll hunt you down
It ain't easy but it can be beat
We sensed a clear lack of style, so we grabbed the reins and made for northern lights without a sound

So long
I think my time here's done
Gotta move on

We drunk the Spanish sky
We made the French girls smile
When we got home, we lay down on the porch
We lit a cigarette, threw the ducks some stale bread
Tried to recall what we were lookin' for
