"Turntable won’t spin around. There hasn’t been a sound for days. I’m ready to be found but nobody comes around this way. I got a quarter burning a hole but there’s nowhere left for it to go. Empty bubble gum machines. There’s only candy in our dreams. But I remember you,; Cigarettes, root beer, America. Who needs these DVDs? There’s no more power for TV. Trees are cracking through highway one. Doesn’t matter all the gas has long been gone. The moonlight through the smog, so hot it burns right through your skin. If we could go back now. I’m sure we’d never vote again. But I remember you; Popcorn, M&M’s, America. I got a quarter burning a hole but there’s nowhere left for it to go. Empty bubble gum machines, there’s only candy in our dreams… But I remember you; Seattle, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Mexico, Canada, Africa, America."
