lyrics

There’s a torn newspaper floating in the morning traffic
It could be The Boston Globe or The Evening Post
As the latest candidate celebrity push and shove
to climb on top
Emily here’s your stop

Lately I’ve been patiently awaiting your arrival at the station
longing for the thrills that only you could bring
In the invisible crowd you could dream out loud
and no one would give a care you’re leaving them out
So eager to prove my every doubt

Gone gone gone you can do what you really feel and forget
anything about me uh huh
Bom bom bom here we go driving singing in my car
this long-distance harmony

I took to an abstractionary look at the sky
I declared a holiday on any day of July
but every day is Strangers’ Day in New York City you say
in Emily’s mirror smile

needle in the haystack that you always seemed to find
you could spin your little yarn you could thread it through my eye
you could puncture the ellipse of a midnight star painted blue
with its lens on you, and Emily you’d see through

na na na everybody adding to the hate collection
thanks for your contribution
bom bom bom better get set for the next commercial boom
who’s buying you

At the top of the world you can dance all day
and your heart goes bom bom bom bomba dum bum
When your ashes are blown from the fire pit
and your heart says bom bom bom bom bom

She’s out dancing with Marisa
in the street wearing your old shirt
Shoo-doo-shomp-ing down the sidewalk
Stick-em-up at a margarista
as a cover to the mix tape
your girlfriend dubbed onto both sides
She’s a bold inventors heart
my favorite dot on the map
she could shake a can of spray paint to the One Note Samba
at the bus stop in the toupee is the singing girl
