Lyrics:
1st: 'We have our master plan, bottled and canned, living in the 3-5-2. Steps 1 and 2:
walk home drunk, wake up confused with a stranger next to you.'
3rd: 'We have our history. Just you and me, but our future gets talked away. Steps 3 and
4: stayin' drunk, sit on this porch, planning out how to escape.'
PART 2: 2nd and 3rd set of lyrics.

Lyrics:
2nd: 'The copied costumes and conversations seem to be totally makin' this into a
strip-mall kind of town. I used my credit card to buy alcohol, student loans spent at the
mall. And I may be goin' broke, but I'm never broken down'
4th: 'Cause we're to truck-stops off the inner-state promise land with a twist of fate.
We're the town for all the lost and found. So sleep tight in this smokey room. Still
buzzed from this afternoon. And I may be goin' broke, but I'm never broken down.'

Lyrics
1. 'He said Florida's slowly sinking, sinking into the ocean. He says the housing tracks
are built on half fact and the rest half fiction. And I can't argue that statistics are
becoming the definition of just standing still between glass and steal drowning in
this quicksand.'
2. 'Between the garbage and the concrete, to the construction grounds under our feet. A
Boomtown gone bust, a goldmine to dust, disintegrating. Where latch-key kids from
divorces, transplants and the foreign tourists fill up vacation stops turn to
trailer parks 'cause this state is fading.'
CHORUS: Play twice consecutively.

Lyrics:
'And the city skyline hasn't looked the same since the boom in south florida's real
estate. It's turning into more than I can take. Too much, too soon, too little, too late.'
