Old Mix Tapes

Ishi "American Cafe"

There must be a corner cafe
Somewhere along the way
In almost every place we stay
There must be a Main and Broadway
In every town we play
Our music everyday

There are brazen similarities
In America the scarcity
Of a single stretch of highway minus signs
And yet with all their advertising
Ill advising me
There is no direction
That I can see that I could buy

Why my mind is drifting back to you in
Your city far away
I truly cannot say

What ever I could find there
Could not possibly reward me as does
My solitude this day

Yeah right, that's what I tell myself
Tumbling and laughing
Through moments of gold
Yeah right
Why should I put up a fight?
When darkness overtakes me
Chains me down and breaks me
