John K. Samson - Longitudinal Centre lyrics

rate me

This Spring made Winter an insulting opening offer down the passing lane

It's getting harder to negotiate

Thawing out and icing up again

Past the circle of Provincial flags flagging in the front yard

Tired of trying to make us think

That it hasn't always been so hard

The sky looks seasick on the boxcar's sway

Where the Atlantic and Pacific are the very same far away

So the sun pulls me out and then lets me in, I'm a vacuum-powered cord

In the back of that van full of kids

Cleaning carpets for the Lord

And I make a little list of sounds I've found, it comforted us in the past

The roar of the rumble strips

And the Mennonite meter of the flood forecast

wind strums on those signs that say

The Atlantic and Pacific are the very same far away

Steer this boat around the snow plow spray

While the Atlantic and Pacific are the very same far away
