Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Time moves a little slower here
The paint peels 'cause the summers here are so severe
And we're nowhere near, nowhere you would know of
Locals here pride, they show up just to show off
Old men take a load off just to watch the day go by
Philosophizin' with their friends like they're Plato
They prophesize on the bench by the main road, right
They got advice, I'm like "Ay, yo, if you say so, guys"
But what do they know? Fox News got 'em lit
They're shook 'cause fundamentalists the new communists
Old girl with a shoppin' list, clutch her handbag close
I'm like, "Damn, ma'am, Dan, this old bag has jokes"
'Cause I'm a gentlemen, but then again, most of us are
First name basis in the bank, the post office, the bar
The grocer, the park, so lady, I ain't tryna grab your pension
The old men on the bench hum
[Chorus]
Well, let's go, let's go
We're livin' in the days when everybody's sayin' what a time to be alive
But I'm feeling out of place like I live in outer space
'Cause it seems I'm stuck in time
It's like we ride through life
Right in the shadow of the Cold War, Cold War
It gets so quiet at night
Like, ah, martial law took a hold y'all, '55
[Verse 2]
Time moves a little slower here
Day feels like a week, a weekend feels like it could go a year
And we're nowhere near nothing, man, it's so true
I don't tell 'em where I'm from, I tell 'em where I'm close to
And I can go through an atlas and show you on a map, but
You'd still look me sideways and treat me like I'm backwards
But that's just fine, it so happens I'm
Happy livin' in a city that is trapped in time
While you're lined up in traffic, I'm not
Panicked by transit, I'm back in time
For a TV dinner and an early night
'Cause we get dressed to travel, got an early flight
Been doin' laps of the Earth, we're doin' laps of the sun
Tryna put where I'm at on the map 'cause where I'm from
We never get a mention, but all that and then some
Once again, the old men on the bench hum
[Chorus]
Well, let's go, let's go
We're livin' in the days when everybody's sayin' what a time to be alive
But I'm feeling out of place like I live in outer space
'Cause it seems I'm stuck in time
It's like we ride through life
Right in the shadow of the Cold War, Cold War
It gets so quiet at night
Like, ah, martial law took a hold y'all, '55
[Bridge]
Where I go, where I go, this will always be home, no matter
Where I go, where I go, this will always be home, no matter
Where I go, where I go, this will always be home, no matter
Where I go, where I go, this will always be home
[Chorus]
Well, Montaigne, let's go
We're livin' in the days when everybody's sayin' what a time to be alive
But I'm feeling out of place like I live in outer space
'Cause it seems I'm stuck in time
It's like we ride through life
Right in the shadow of the Cold War, Cold War
It gets so quiet at night
Like, ah, martial law took a hold y'all, '55
