Car Eats Town

Duplicating memories
It was romantic for a while
Strolling down the Boulevarde
First hand in hand, then single file
The ... ..., the yellow brick
The broken wall with the face on it
The backdoor stairs where we sat down
To watch the car that eats our town
Here's the tree where I used to wait
Springtime come and don't be late
The last leaf is falling down
And hits the car that eats my town
Wheels above and wheels below
Wheels too fast, sometimes too slow *
The little church with the missing bell
The old hotel with the certain smell
The wooden bridge that fell apart
The alley where you stole my heart
The nightingale that breaks the day
Headlights obliterate the stars
Landscapes change from green to grey
Creation's re-designed by cars.
