Lyrics MCMXIV - Ratboys

MCMXIV

February 3rd was planned
I had to be present to ride on a bus
I walked around Chicago for hours on end
Woke up to someone watching me at Wabash and Grand
And nobody around me spoke a word
The entire afternoon nothing was said
Yet, I could enter into tourists' heads
With great effort I let them know, 'The tower’s up there'
I had no idea what to think about you
You have no idea how much I needed you
On this occasion, it was so sad
It was so sad
Making my way back home
Was bizarre, to say the least, because I wasn’t alone
Louisville looked like a ruby that once shown
Her mouth, the fluid motion of a smile collapsing
I have no idea what to think about you
You have no idea how much I needed you
On this occasion, it was so sad
On this occasion, it was so saaaaaaaad
All I am is just a Ratboy
All I am is just a Ratboy
All I am is just a Ratboy
All I am is just a Ratboy
All I am is just a Ratboy
And the roads continue down
Actually down to the South, as it’s known
I didn’t see much of Nashville that day
But, a Romanesque cathedral built in MCMXIV
Okay, that’s it
