lyrics

Just Blew Into Town

i used to have a map of New York
but i left it back in Budapest
when i got back to Brooklyn
they really put me to the test
they said Samm where you going to next?
i said i planned to stay right here
they said hey that's way too far to go
i said that's funny cause it seems so very near

i just blew into town
and i'm spinning round and round

honey the rmail train runs right through my kitchen
here comes the 8:07
just as i'm frying up my eggs in the morning
along comes the 9:11
the kinfolk said Samm move away from there
but i'm happy here don't you know
as i sip my morning coffee
honey i listen to that lonesome whistle blow

i just blew into town
and i'm spinning round and round

i've got a dump truck full of drum machines
they're filling it up to the brim
i'm gonna rock the block like a clock non-stop
it's gonna be bigger than Fatboy Slim
i've got a stack of distortion pedals
as high as a telephone pole
i'm gonna link 'em all together in a daisy chain
til they sing like Nat King Cole

i just blew into town and i'm spinning round and round

people i feel like i been severed down the middle
half of me wants to go back home
the other half wants to float up and away
through that hole in the Roman Pantheon dome
but if i travelled to the ends of the earth
and came back with a thousand stories to tell
you'd still be better off listening to the echo
of the ocean roaring in a seashell

i just blew into town
and i'm spinning round and round
