lyrics

Meet me in Wisconsin, breathe Judy Garland's air
Weeping in her parlour - it's such a good thing to care.

A thousand miles from Graceland, we don't know what to wear
The King won't be there waiting - it's such a good thing to care

Let us drown in Prescott at the taxidermy bar
It's full of Gods fat angels - it's such a good thing getting this far.

It's only dead rain don't let it drag you down

Meet me in St Louis underneath that Apex sign
I know your life ain't easy - but it's such a good thing to try

Iron hills Missouri, the mines have long been closed
It's like our own sweet homeland - it's such a good thing having you close

Meet me on the bayou outside our rented shack
Well sit and count the turtles - it's such a good thing never look back.

It's only dead rain don't let it drag you down
