lyrics

BOX OF MAPLE AVENUE

There's a jukebox sits inside a storefront
on Box-of-Maple Avenue
When someone spins a quarter in,
the buildings all commence to shaking
and people move by walking
in a dream of creation
the earth beneath drinks deep
of the sound of souls and feet
in syn co pa tion

On Box-of-Maple Avenue
is the Right In/Right Out Hair Saloon
The convenience store that sits next door
sells cigarettes one at a time
and cars drive by with their windows down
to hear the boys sing at the lampost
without a song
man, you know everybody else is singing right along...
On Box-of-Maple Avenue

There's a man sits on the brownstone steps
in the middle of the avenue
He hardly has a word to say
'cause he's always playing a guitar
and some folks think he's been here
as long as they remember
he sits beside them everyday
already far away so far
You could take the number 42 bus
if you want to come visit us...

There's a donut smell at 6 a.m.
on Box-of-Maple Avenue
and even the guy who sleeps outside
is sitting up sniffing the sky
By ten the jukebox kicks in again
and the world is drunk on coffee
and it takes a long time
to come down from that ride
as hours become days become weeks
become years here

On Box-of-Maple Avenue
On Box-of-Maple Avenue
