verse 1 Here I am in traffic's slow flow (Where the needle touched down) Carbon planes draw a cage around the air force base (where the needle touched down) My foot on the brake it's ok to fly low Over poor Spanaway verse 2 An eagle swooped down from a semi-trailer Took the name of your town from a shark-toothed freighter The needle's the same it recorded and played When you left me at the greyhound the year I moved away And if I knew then what's so obvious now You'd still be here baby My baby, baby Bridge verse 3 So that's why I never come back here That's why they spit out my name Your exes have clawed up the bible Trying to keep me away With the sledge of tectonic fever The needle has landed again Let it play verse 4 And the needle touched down The needle has landed And the needle touched down The needle has landed Verse 5 An eagle swooped down from a semi-trailer Took the name of your town from a shark-toothed freighter And if I knew then what's so obvious now You'd still be here baby Outro (repeat)
