Here I am in traffic's slow flow (Where the needle touched down)
Carbon planes draw a cage around the air force base (where the needle touched down)
My foot on the brake it's ok to fly low
Over poor Spanaway
verse 2
An eagle swooped down from a semi-trailer
Took the name of your town from a shark-toothed freighter
The needle's the same it recorded and played
When you left me at the greyhound the year I moved away
And if I knew then what's so obvious now
You'd still be here baby
My baby, baby
Bridge
verse 3
So that's why I never come back here
That's why they spit out my name
Your exes have clawed up the bible
Trying to keep me away
With the sledge of tectonic fever
The needle has landed again
Let it play
verse 4
And the needle touched down
The needle has landed
And the needle touched down
The needle has landed
Verse 5
An eagle swooped down from a semi-trailer
Took the name of your town from a shark-toothed freighter
And if I knew then what's so obvious now
You'd still be here baby
