Umbilical Town Gary Jules

[Verse 1]
I hear you've got a pocket full of words
That you keep in the garage
Together with the feathers and the fireworks
A surf town hero who's got one-foot in the garden
Where the neon-lighted cocktail glasses bloom

[Chorus]
And they built you a model airplane
Like the one that brought you back to Lindbergh field
Now you're counting your change by the streetlights on India
"Hey, it's me again, I'm faded, could I please come over?"
You can do what you want
In umbilical town
In a waterfront bar

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Old gap-toothed Annie was a friend of mine
The third-time around, she was born again
She must have burned at least a half-a-million dollars
In the little rooms next door to wash and fold

[Chorus]
And there ain't no consolation prize
There is no backdoor to innocence
Just the wild-eyed faces and names that you've forgotten
"Hey, the money's gone, I'm broken, could I please come over?"
You can do what you want
In umbilical town
In that waterfront bar
