Holland Tunnel Lyrics

The Holland Tunnel's 2 miles long

Sink into the aviary, sing another song

And put that sewn on patch to denim jacket

Coffee cup to sugar packet

Insane feasts and beastly racket

Every single time



And when you feel like somethings wrong

Bear in your sweet mind, the sun'll shine until its gone

When your lives collide in dull crescendo

Telescope in bedroom window

Nervous knees and anxious elbows



I fell asleep in the backseat

And not for the life of me

Could I remember a time more complete

But I guess things seem more important

When you're underwater

Disease and disorder

Seep out to the sea



And you don't have to believe

Every angry thing

Everybody says

No you don't believe

Every stupid thing



If every city's made of clay

Towering scraps of something someone someday throws away

It must get hard to keep track of everyone

What their names are where they come from



(?)Throw it land, demand it Brooklyn

Jean from Centerline



I knew a girl who drove a cab

And she took Polaroids of every body she'd ever had

And she laid them out on the floor of her bedroom

Resting on scarves soaked in perfume

End to end for all to look through



When it came my time I saw the one of me

One of my best friend

Some kid from some hazy weekend

The entire collection with no completions

Kinda blew my mind



But when we held hands on her balcony

Not for the life of me

Could I envision a scene more sweet

But I guess things seem more important

Up 40 stories

Your cares and your worries fall down to the street



And you don't have to believe

Every angry thing

Everybody says

No you don't believe

Every stupid thing
