Intro

Now the houses are ghost over Silver Street

You’re got ‘em dressed up like clowns

Married couples slamming doors, bums praising the lord

And you're playing tapes for the town

Now the neighborhood mixed and your college friends

Are getting younger every year

The wind don't blow and the grass don't grow

And you're never leaving Silver Street

You bought some brown wire frames at a joke shop

That was your trademark in 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're never leaving Silver Street

Well now don't get me wrong cause

Ohhh, I like this neighborhood

Oh is seeing you is good

But now we spend the day so completely uninspired

Asking why oh why would 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

When everything else stays the same

The wind don't blow and the grass don't grow

You'll never leave Silver Street
