Well, last week you were feeling bad
'Bout some friends that you had
Folks you knew in undergrad
You wonder why they don't hit you back
Well, that same day the sky was orange
But we've seen it before
Like every summer now in New York
The city kids will see what's in store
Well damn
It's a shame that it had to go this way
The big stars in their race cars
And their supersonic planes
They don't know what I do
'Cause for them it's just a game
God knows someday life will close
But I love you all the same
I love you the same
La la, la la la
I love you the same
I picture you in May or June, or the end of July
The things that you could do with your life
Framed against a wildfire
From where I stand on fallow land
It's a long way to go
I'm moving towards a quiet repose
The way your city sounds in the snow
Well damn
It's a shame that it had to go this way
The big stars in their race cars
And their supersonic planes
They don't know what I do
'Cause for them it's just a game
God knows someday life will close
But I love you all the same
I love you the same
