10000 Maniacs: "Earth Pressed Flat" Lyrics

Detroit, l.a.,boston, san francisco,

First time over the ocean on a plane

A billion stars below me lay,

Circle slowly jfk,

So much there to see inside of a week

They came looking for something new

Try to press it flat inside of a few days

Old dominion saturday, arlingtons eternal flame

Sunday tour niagara falls in the mist.

Monday Ill be heading south

New orleans the cajun sound

Tuesdays tupelo elviss home . . .

Try to press it flat inside of a few days

What a wonderful stay,

On a mule grand canyon ride on wednesday,

Hope to get to denver in a day friday

Ride to washington, in the glacial mountain sun

Hop a train for canada to the east

They came looking for something new

Try to press it flat inside of a few days

What a wonderful stay.
