The Fun Of The New

from Curtains by Paris Street

/

about

A peppy, upbeat song that takes a bit of a cynical turn at the end.

lyrics

On an impulse road trip when we should be at work instead
In a car that smells of gyro meat, rice, and pita bread
Cooled-down leftovers from that new Turkish cafe
Where we came up with the idea and set off on our way

But we're too broke to go as far as we'd like
We won't worry about that until another time

It was a reverse autumn as the trees went back to green
At a Macon cemetery at the start of Halloween
We photographed the gravestones, the monuments to those long-dead
Then we walked back to our car and at the pita bread

And we really didn't know were next to go
We just wanted to remain off of the main roads

We don't know
If this fun can last
It never has
In the past

We walked along the river on Savannah's bumpy streets
Amidst the usual tourist traffic and the costumed revelry
As they marched on past us, each one trying to top the next
I liked the guys dressed as Ghostbusters, you liked the zombies best

We don't know
If this fun can last
It never has
In the past

We don't know
If this fun can last
It never has
In the past

It'll never last
It'll never last
It'll never last
