Albemarle Station - Silver Jews

Call me from Albemarle Station if you can

I hope you find your concentration beneath those ceiling fans

We used to dance in this split-level ranch

Moonlight flooding the room

Now you’re gone and the shades are all drawn

In my air-conditioned tomb

Bad roads, bad snow, bad bridges

Could turn a once bad man religious

If thy kingdom ever comes

You better run, run, run, run

There must be a Spanish word for this feeling

The rush I get when I am stealing

From the Dust Congress

Whose dollars and dimes

Say, «In dust we trust»

Oh, yeah

The world is not ready for you

I passed an abandoned drive-in

With ivy growing over the screen

It was like I caught Hollywood sleeping

Sleep without the dreams

A magic shop in Colonial Watts

Something gets pushed by the wind

The world’s not ready

The world’s not ready

The chimes of rabies are ringing again

Bad roads, bad snow, bad bridges

Could turn a once bad man religious

If thy kingdom ever comes

You better run, run, run, run

There must be a pool out behind the church

'Cause he looked so cool in the back of a hearse

After his debutante trial

All the citizens began to dress in his style

Oh, yeah

It’s a beautiful, beautiful world
