Lyrics

Weeks tend to wither when you walk
The wind whipped up, and almost blew me off the Queen viaduct
While I was reading that overhead ode to the river
Watch it slither in the bad weather
I had my headphones over my ears
Deaf to the deafening traffic
I slipped on inexplicable ice
Under sur-zero sky
How long have I lived here
That small-town exit seems so long ago
How long have I lived here
The lake seems further away
I felt my hair extend beyond the railing
My neck offered my head to the highway
But my hands were steady, ready to grab me
To stop this city from killing me
Having saved myself from nothing
I turned toward the east end, pretending to rush
In the direction of sewage treatment plants
Increasing rents, and swarms of new parents
I skirt the endless boutique stores
To the apartment I can’t afford any more
How long have I lived here
That small-town exit seems so long ago
There’s a million wallets between the water and me
Buying rooms in rebuilt factories
Past the lofts, and up to Dundas
There’s nothing but bikes in the bar
The Don’s a lousy excuse for a river
And wine’s a lousy excuse for a drink
I’m a lousy excuse for a drinker
I wish we could admit that we will disappear
I wish we could admit that we will disappear
How long have I lived here
That small-town exit it seems so long ago
How long have I lived here
How long have I lived here
How long have I lived here
How long
