written on the night of the famous chicago "snowpocalypse" of 2011
lyrics
during morning coffee and toast
i was dreaming about the west coast
trying to think of reasons we should stay
here in this morbid cold, when I saw that bread mold
it was a sign that today was the day
i know it sounds cliche,
but I see no reason to delay
let’s just sail our ship and move away
i don’t care if it is fool’s gold,
this state is getting old, like a dirty ashtray
who cares where, let’s just go west
illinois makes me depressed
i’m buying two non-stop one-ways
i know it sounds cliche,
I see no reason to delay
let’s just sail our ship and move away
