Poughkeepsie

Who knew that cars needed oil

That bars needed writers

That bands needed songs

Who knew we all needed laughter

Are you my mother?

Are we standing side by side?

You broke all the records in little Poughkeepsie

Pulling down lines from the air

You were more than a punch line in little Poughkeepsie

Your piano's getting tipsy over there

Who knew machines needed answers

That Scrabble and vodka were part of the plan

Who knew that time needed wasting

And this time we're ready to sink to the top of the stack

You broke all the records in little Poughkeepsie

Pulling down lines from the air

You were more than a punch line in little Poughkeepsie

Your piano's getting tipsy over there

I'll be watching your wheels turn

Who knew that cars needed oil

That bars needed writers

You broke all the records in little Poughkeepsie

Pulling down lines from the air

You were more than a punch line in little Poughkeepsie

Your piano's getting tipsy over there

Your piano's getting tipsy over there

Your piano's getting tipsy over there

Your piano's getting tipsy over there
