lyrics

Cape Cod

You blow my mind in a Cape Cod kinda way
With a sandbar spine and a rose hip bush
And cigarettes a pack a day
I turned around at seventeen
Learned to drive, I went the other way
Said “anywhere, but east from here is where I wanna to be”

With a backpack full of principles
And how things ought to be
All figured out and folded neat
Like my mother’s laundered sheets
Self-righteous as a pastor’s kid
Before he learned what his father did
I said “anywhere, but east from here is where I’m gonna be”

Kindness used to come so easy
How’d I learn to be so mean?
Not to your face, but in my head
I tossed you out like some book I read
With which I disagreed, that tried to hard
To hide the ugly that’s in you, and in me

I’d lose my mind in a Cape Cod kinda way
Getting mischievous when the summer-folk go
With your pal since the third grade
There’s two dozen of you at twenty two
And then thirty-four, and then fifty-eight
Still hangin ‘round downtown
Slurping oysters in October
How I learn to be so mean?
Thinkin “anywhere but east from here is where I wanna be”
Or where I ought to be
