[00:08.78]You gotta start it with a cliché you know what I'm sayin'
[00:11.52]Like
[00:12.78]Time moves a little slower here
[00:14.94]The paint peels 'cause the summers here are so severe
[00:17.8]And we're nowhere near nowhere you would know of
[00:20.32]Locals here ride they show up just to show off
[00:23.09]Old men take a load off just to watch the day go by
[00:26.12]Philosophising with their friends like they're Plato
[00:29.15]They prophecies on the bench by the main road right
[00:32.08]They got advice I'm like 'ayo if you say so guys'
[00:34.84]But what do they know fox news got 'em lit
[00:37.41]They're shook 'cause fundamentalist the new communist
[00:40.63]Old girl with her shopping list clutch her handbag close
[00:43.45]I'm like 'damn ma'am Dan this old bag has jokes'
[00:46.18]'Cause I'm a gentleman but then again most of us are
[00:49.29]First name basis in the bank the post office the bar
[00:51.92]The grocer the park so lady I ain't tryna grab your pension
[00:55.49]The old men on the bench hum
[00:57.65]Direct from the transistor radio in your lounge room
[01:00.51]It's the entertainment that the whole family can enjoy
[01:03.54]Well I say looking slick will do the trick
[01:05.99]So try Barry's Brylcreem today
[01:07.79]Well let's go let's go
[01:09.0]We're living in the days when everybody sayin'
[01:11.68]What a time to be alive
[01:13.87]But I'm feeling out of place like I live in outer space
[01:16.97]'Cause it seems I'm stuck in time
[01:19.26]It's like we ride through life
[01:22.8]Right in the shadow of the cold war
[01:25.15]It gets so quiet at night
[01:27.87]Like martial law took a hold y'all '55
[01:32.78]Time moves a little slower here
[01:34.729996]A day feels like a week
[01:35.68]A week it feels like it could go a year
[01:37.8]And we're nowhere near nothing man it's so true
[01:40.240005]I don't tell 'em where I'm from I tell 'em where I'm close to
[01:43.380005]And I can go through an atlas and show you on a map but
[01:46.479996]You'd still look me sideways and treat me like I'm backwards
[01:49.479996]But that's just fine it so happens I'm
[01:52.08]Happy living in a city that is trapped in time
[01:55.009995]While you're lined up in traffic I'm
[01:57.08]Not panicked 'bout transit I'm back in time
[01:59.97]For a TV dinner and an early night
[02:02.54]Cause we get dressed to travel got an early flight
[02:05.61]Been doing laps of the earth while doing laps of the sun
[02:08.54]Tryna put where I'm at on the map cause where I'm from
[02:11.22]We never get a mention but all that and then some
[02:14.88]Once again the old men on the bench hum
[02:17.47]And across the country they came in waves
[02:19.77]Thousands upon thousands of flying
[02:21.95]Discs descending from the planet Mars
[02:25.0]For the closest shave try a Wilson's razor today
[02:27.65]Well let's go let's go
[02:29.0]We're living in the days when everybody sayin'
[02:31.55]What a time to be alive
[02:33.74]But I'm feeling out of place like I live in outer space
[02:37.03]'Cause it seems I'm stuck in time
[02:39.26]It's like we ride through life
[02:42.83]Right in the shadow of the cold war
[02:45.11]It gets so quiet at night
[02:47.86]Like martial law took a hold y'all '55
[02:52.1]Where I go where I go
[02:53.51]This will always be home no matter

[03:04.91]This will always be home no matter
[03:09.16]Where I go where I go
[03:10.63]This will always be home
[03:14.76]If you can't beat the summer heat
[03:16.25]Then what you need is a wordell's
[03:18.85]Wordell refrigerators the cooler choice
[03:22.56]The dieting revolution taking the world by storm
[03:25.03]Well Montaigne let's go
[03:26.13]We're living in the days when everybody sayin'
[03:28.85]What a time to be alive
[03:30.99]But I'm feeling out of place like I live in outer space
[03:34.2]'Cause it seems I'm stuck in time
[03:36.44]It's like we ride through life
[03:39.95999]Right in the shadow of the cold war
[03:42.23]It gets so quiet at night
