Lyrics
Track-side at the Kiss 'n Ride they've got
long lines of lovers, saying goodbye.
It seem that Kenosha must feel like an ocean away.
I've got a name and a face to forget,
I've got a constant companion in a cigarette.
The nicotine stains, as the photos decay.
The boardwalk photo-booth captured your eyes
if it missed the truth.
I'll break til you bend,
you've got Eyes like David Bowie,
let's be friends.
The windy city is a blustery foe,
only warming it's heart when the Chinook winds blow,
and this train clatters north
as the sky turns to hail.
Collect my baggage at the end of the line,
and grab a taxi cab, Kenosha Kiss 'n Ride.
I'll break til you bend,
you've got Eyes like David Bowie,
let's be friends.
