STREETCAR All music and lyrics by Miriam Donohue

Roads go on forever into your back yard,
hills turn into mountains
people into cars
and all is bright and blurry a streetcar named desire
as signing posts ans homeless ghosts hang off the corner boulevard

And yes i love the feeling of cruising round town
I'm stuck in, I'm reeling in the gridlocked eiderdown,
sometimes getting itchy feet means walking out for ten
sometimes it means rolling out the bends

Well we all go the same way like ants unto our Queen
guided by the traffic lights our neon tails all weave
the least detail the smallest scale is lost in time and speed
and we're paying no attention to where this road might lead

And yes i love the feeling of cruising round town
I'm stuck in, I'm reeling in the gridlocked eiderdown,
sometimes getting itchy feet means walking out for ten
sometimes it means rolling out the bends

We all live in boxes, afraid of what we see,
we gave our boxes little wheels so that we felt free
and all is bright and blurry a streetcar named desire
as signing posts ans homeless ghosts hang off the corner boulevard


And yes i love the feeling of cruising round town
I'm stuck in, I'm reeling in the gridlocked eiderdown,
sometimes getting itchy feet means walking out for ten
sometimes it means rolling out the bends
