Two Babies in Michigan
Eric Donald Johnson
The air seems fine
But somehow you can't breathe
Though I suppose there are things out there
Us mere mortals can't see
Still broke as a joke
With no clear way to cure it
Back down on the boulevard
Floating around like a spirit
But hey can you remember back
To who you were? Or can you
Can you meditate on who you are now?
Oh sister, do you remember back when
We were just two babies in Michigan
And the world was flat and
Just a mile across?
And you're starting to feel
That you've lost your tribe
Looking out at the endless drink
With watery eyes
But hey can you remember back
To who you were? Or can you
Can you meditate on who you are now?
Oh sister, do you remember that time
When we were lined up
Waiting for the waterslide
Swollen clouds and airplanes in the sky?
