Intro

 Oh the turbines pound

 Your plane touches down

 The captain catches your eye

 And all the city crows

 Perched high and low

 On wires watch you walk by

 Oh your hair has changed

 Your room's rearranged

 Someone's been sleeping inside

 And the curtains closed

 On all your windows

 To block out the fried chicken sign

 Roll on Arte, roll on

 Oh your heart is too good for this town

 Your eyes cast through the glass

 At my so sorry manniquin frown

 The porter sings

 As he begins

 To clean up the mess that we've made

 And the christmas trees

 Are cast on the street

 And garbage trucks block Hooper lane

 Well my head is in pain

 But I can't complain

 Cause my sweetheart waits down the line

 And I will be

 In a house by the sea

 Or even if just in my mind

 Roll on Arte, roll on

 Oh your heart is too good for this town

 Your eyes cast through the glass

 At my sorry American frown

 Oh my mouth aint fed

 My lips aint cherry red

 And my grin might show my bad teeth

 And all the people I pass

 Give me a glance

 As if I'm some lower class freak

 But to you I'm fine

 And I'm in your mind

 Even if I'm not around

 In my arms I am strong

 And thats where you belong

 Give em the love that we've found

 Roll on Arte, roll on

 Oh your heart is too good for this town

 My eyes cast through the glass

 At your so sorry Marylyn frown

 At your so sorry Marylyn frown
