So I'm goin' down this street
And I'm tryin' not to smile
'Cause the street is where I'm goin'
And the curb is at the side
By the sewer
Where the rain goes down
Like this girl I once knew
'Cause the sewer is so hollow
And the yell
Could last forever
Like the night my girl went away
Gone off in a world filled with stuff

Lights start changin'
Changes and there's wires in the air
And the asphalt man, the asphalt man
Is all around me

And I look down at my shoes are so far away from me, man
I can't believe it

I got a real indication
Of a laugh comin' on
I got a real indication
Of a laugh comin' on
That old wind
Is howling like a cold steel train
Girl has left me
Not comin' back
Got rusted bullet holes in the Dodge
And a heartburn like a solar flare
The grass by the house is dry, man
And a horsefly buzzes by this, by this
Buzzes by this, by this
By the big mistake In the distance, man
I see myself and I see myself
And I start to smile and I start to smile

I got a real indication
Ha, ha
Ha, ho, ha, ho, ha, ho, ha, ho, ha, ho
Ha, ho, ha, ho, ha, ho, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ho, ha, oh
Of a laugh comin' on

I got a real indication
Of a laugh comin' on

So I'm goin' down this street
So I'm goin' down this street
And I'm tryin' not to smile
'Cause the street is where I'm goin'
And the curb is at the side
By the sewer
Where the rain goes down
Like this girl I once knew
'Cause the sewer is so hollow
(And the yell)
Could last forever
Like the night my girl went away
Like the night my girl went away
Gone off in a world filled with stuff
Lights start changin' changes
And there's wires in the air
And the asphalt man, the asphalt man
Is all around me

And I look down at my shoes are so far away from me
Man, I can't believe it
Man, I can't believe it
Man, I can't believe it
Man, I can't believe it

I got a real indication
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Of a laugh comin' on
I got a real indication

Of a laugh comin' on
