lyrics

Hartford I saw you, gutted and empty
saw you lucid and blue, pecking for food
and how I loved you, I brought you flowers
For the gaps in your streets, strewn your sidewalk with seeds
I saw you were thirsty so I brought you rainstorms
for the lines in the woodwork, the moss on the floor
and then Hartford I gave you, up like a present
to the pigeons and gulls, the ravens and wolves

oh Americana mystic, American dream
with your cinematic moonlight, and your blue kerosene
carousel parts in the scrapyard and the gaps in your teeth
you daughter of nobody

Hartford I saw you, there from the freeway,
Under billboards and lights, and fast food signs
And I heard you calling through the hum of the highway,
Heard your shiver and groan, your howl and moan

Oh Americana mama of the sinew and soot,
with a baby at your bosom and a fire under foot
With your organic indifference and your infinite love,
Americana mama of all of us

Hartford I saw you, wrapped in a blanket
made of feathers and leaves, and river reeds
Stood in the sunshine, you little monster,
with the train of your spine and your broken window eyes you cried

Americana classic, would you please let me go
I am kudzu and ivy, I am crumbling stone
I am skinnier than ever and I’m shivering cold
With my streets paved with flyers, buying silver and gold,

Oh Americana mystic, oh you medicine man,
With the leather of your bare feet and a gun in your hand,
lead the army of the new world, where Amanda is king,
and plants flowers in everything
