I Mother Earth - Shortcut to Moncton

I Mother Earth - Shortcut to Moncton from the album Scenery and Fish. First of all I know the video sucks, I wasn't trying to make it good, I just wanted to share this song because I couldn't find it anywhere's on here. Enjoy!

Lyrics

Between the doors, shakin' heads and thinking
alot about who you're with, where you are
Blue lightning hittin' trees and lighting
Roads won't let me get too down 'cause
Sometimes you can be let down

You move on ahead in quicksand
And you hope you're still goin' east boy
It's dreamy all day drives and short parades
And I won't let it mess with my head
Just grin and live it
While you can...with wonderment

With eyes wide open
I'm taking in all I can
The small town darkness
Is singing by
In trance...I'm feeling glad

You and your friends drink, laugh
And pass out, keeping good things close
Fought till the end, it's hard to keep it all fun
I won't let it mess with my head
Won't let it mess with
Sleeping friends or their wonderment

With eyes wide open
I'm taking in all I can
The small town darkness
Is singing by
In trance...I'm feeling wierd

Though the day's been really long
I still feel I'm close to nowhere
And I wouldn't let no one take my place oh no, oh yeah
A warm bed, in my head I can see
The tidal wave of disappointment
See the lights shining over there
Through the night I am on the way
on the way, on the way, on the way
on the way.

With eyes wide open
I'm taking in all I can
The small town darkness
Is singing by
In trance...I'm......
With eyes wide open
I'm taking in all I can
The small town darkness
Is singing by
In trance...I'm feeling glad

[Bing42]

I live in New brunswick, and beofre they redid the Trans-Canada highway between Sussex and Fredericton, there used to be a sign labelled "Shortcut to Moncton" which was in fact a shortcut... to Moncton... The shortcut ended in Salisbury where it met back up with the main highway. I always got a kick out of that sign. I'm sure this song is an ode to that sign.
