Laramie

There was always someone pulling the strings
In the old days when we were dancing and singing 'til our throats got sore
Who in their right mind
Would ever go and look for more?
This is now and that was all before

There was always someone watching us play
In our desert sandbox crying when the wind blew sand in our eyes
Set aside a pile of sand whenever anyone died
Then one day we went out to explore

When we got snowed in in Laramie
In the early days of May
There was something taking care of me
And you, wouldn't you say?

There was always a story pointing the way
And we'd sit together reading and scratching our beards and our chins
Used to keep a running count of everyone that loses and wins
We could be forgiven for not learning from our sins

When we got snowed in in Laramie
In the early days of May
There was something taking care of me
And you, wouldn't you say?
Oh, the second singularity
Was a million miles away
But it wasn't far enough away
And now we're gonna pay

When we got snowed in in Laramie
In the early days of May
There was something taking care of me
And you, wouldn't you say?
And I know you're not aware of me
We're a million miles away
But we're never far enough away
And now we're gonna pay
