To Chicago

I'll love you baby till the parking ticket runs out
Till the lights in the street are as bright as the stars
And you can't workout which way is round
When you button my shirt and fasten my tie
I can run round the earth till the well runs dry
I will never get the feeling like the look in your eye
That's all

Hey now, if you ever go
Leave me a trail to Chicago

Show my colors like a second debut
And I glow like a coin under a dead dog moon
Anytime that I'm alone with you
My blood is wicked and my heart and wild
But I come to you every time like a child
Won't you take my hand just one more time
That's all

Hey now, if you ever go
Leave me a trail to Chicago

So much talk it's lost under the weight of my heels
And days stretched out over the seats and the still
And weak like you put me up there on the cross
And I spit right [?] for your name

Come wrap me up in a blanket of dirt
And return my body, bite down in the earth
I have worn every needle on the same record
Tell my friend not to fall behind
Tell the man in the street who waits in line
To get that love you gotta give it your time
That's all

Hey now, if you ever go
Leave me a trail to Chicago
Hey now, if you ever go
Leave me a trail to Chicago
