Silver Street

Ben Folds Five

Now the houses are ghosts
Over Silver Street
They got 'em dressed up like clowns
Married couples slamming doors
Bums praising the Lord
You're playing tapes for the town

Now the neighbourhood's mixed
And your college friends
Are getting younger every year
The wind don't blow
And the grass don't grow
You're never leaving Silver Street

You bought some brown wire-frames
At a junk shop
And that was you trademark at school
Now they're barely hanging on
And the styles are moving on
It's hard for a man to stay cool.

So the seasons change and the storefronts change 
While everything else stays the same 
The wind don't blow and the grass don't grow 
You'll never leaving Silver Street 

But now don't get me wrong 
cause, oh-woah-oh, I 
like this neighborhood 
oh, and seeing you is good 
But now we spend the day so completely uninspired 
Asking why oh why should I be 
tired 

They're filling the pot holes in on Silver Street 
They're waking the neighbors up at noon 
Now you're friends are out on break 
And you're out on your brown lawn 
Raking the dirt with a broom 

Well the seasons change and the storefronts change 
While everything else stays the same 
The wind don't blow and the grass don't grow 
You never leave Silver Street 

Never leaving, never leaving, 
never leaving, never leaving 

oh, woah-oh, ah
