Lyrics
In the heat of early May, I am standing all alone
Feeling dizzy lacking sleep, I am standing all alone
With a backpack full of dirty clothes and a quarter in my hand
Just about to put my 2 feet on this land
Stuck in traffic 5pm, hearing yelling and honking all around
The same damn music on the radio, oops I have to take this call
Every object in my mirror may be closer than they appear
The stream of headlights looks like the milky way
Friday night on shiny streets, every single face I see
Saying they’re so gifted, they’re so special, unlike anyone else
They got deep blue eyes, they can hit the high notes
just they’re breasts aren’t big enough
Don’t worry mom, big things will happen to me
In the heat of early May, I am standing on this land
People swim across those rivers just to get inside this land
With no backpack or no quarter, but the dream of a better life
They all come out to find it in this land
