you knew it would come down to New Haven
3 square blocks, late nights, sirens
it's a big party; it's a long winter
it's every evening watching Sex In The City
you're surviving…

you were naked in a crowd of people
you remember letting your dream go
just to see if you'd forget about it
to see who you were without it
you're different…

you lost the one you love
you lost the one you love
it's uphill to go
uphill to stay
it's ten feet deep; it hurts your feet
it's uphill both ways

3 drinks sloppy at the birthday party
all those heavy brains and heavenly bodies
embarrassing stuff escapes your lips
flirting with the face that launched a thousand ships
keep on dreaming…

here's a practical suit
worn on a practical route
adrift on the eastern seaboard
you should keep it, you'll probably need more
so they're saying…

never saw the sun shining so bright
never saw the sun…blue skies
never saw the sun shining so bright
never saw the sun…blue skies

you lost the one you love
you lost the one you love
it's uphill to go
uphill to stay
it's ten feet deep; it hurts your feet
it's uphill both ways

the flower girl; the barber shop;
bricks and billiards; last call drop;

You knew it would come down
You know what it came down to
You know what it came down to

Your blue, blue skies
Blue skies…
Blue skies….
