I'd leave the force-fed sunny sappy shores of western California
The northern lights all beaming down to ground us without reason
The bells of busted corsets howling in the southern region
Just to stay with you my dear
Just to show you I'm all here
Just to make it very clear
Where you are I feel home
I'd leave the million tongue-tied yearnings of midwestern furnished living
Purple bloated bodies boasting happy holes in Brooklyn
The gimmick of the grandeur of another Rocky Mountain
Just to stay with you my dove
Just to show you all my love
Just to shout it loud enough
Where you are I feel home
