Upstate New York, autumn, brightly colored leaves

Oh, the hills were on fire, they burn for you and me

And where we were going it was built like a lie

But as sacred as the Bible, so we didn't question why

Bridge

 I C/Gsaw it in the soil jGust recently

 Where the Amrows of teeth they grow in fields of Ginfinite greed

 And C/Ghere laid the father, and Ghere stood the son

 Where the Amroad meets the horizon for Geveryone, for C/Geveryone

Portable television, take us away

From this burden of reflection we've carried today

Oh, the generator's running but there's nothing on the air

And the static is a comfort, so we huddle around and stare
