lyrics

She took her time in the morning
but no goodbye before she rolled
Hers was a house always open to me
right by the totem pole

Nineteen-seven-three
but the street's unknown
Is that some neighborhood, a zipcode or a phone?
She said she’d come meet me by the totem pole
but anyplace starts lookin' good when you find yourself alone

We missed our time without warning
Never realized it all gets old
Perhaps I should have lived more like some kind o'family man
It grounds you (or so I’ve been told?)
Now I miss your laugh & all our forning
Your fleesy hair, heart & soul
Somehow I knew I should o'nailed your sweet ass down
up on that totem pole

You're shit out of luck
You're shit's on the line
You don’t give a fuck
You don’t even try
You’re losing faith
You’re losing time
You’re losing face
You’re losing your mind

Nineteen-seven-three
but the streets unknown
It was just some memory
It was here but now it’s gone
She said shed come meet me by the totem pole
but any place starts lookin' good
when you’re finally on your own
