A man smokes and a dog stretches A woman works and a kid kvetches I'm ridin' on a road that stretches Over the border to America Over the border to America I got nothin' but lonesome time A backyard and a religious shrine There must be something better...

From China to Chinatown New York to Tokyo Upstate to down Island From here to there From the backyard to the wide wide open spaces From the steel mills to the wind in your hair From the claustrophobic beat of my heart to the openness of your smile...

Well, you may think I'm foolish For the foolish things I do You may wonder how come I love you When you get on my nerves like you do Well, baby, you know you bug me There ain't no secret 'bout that Come on over here and hug me Baby, I'll spill the facts...

Stuff comes down from the golden triangle on ferries from denmark to helsingborg The band strikes up but they're out of time on synthesiser and washboard Wooden tulips grow by the roadside made in a factory in jonjoping Fake glass baubles hang in the statio...
