Sexy Teenagers - Great Lakes Shuffle, Pt. 3

I've never been quite comfortable this far from the Genesee
The landmarks aren't familiar, there's no high falls leading me
These streets don't quite feel like home with no stacks of waist high snow
And no matter what they tell me, twenty degrees ain't fucking cold

Give me minus fifteen and cloudy, give me red frost bitten cheeks
Give me swaths of muddy water as far as anyone can see

You know I wouldn't say anything if it wasn't to complain
Being content is boring, monotonous, and mundane
Despite my claims to the contrary, and insistence to protest
Even though 76 is a nightmare, this is probably for the best

Give me jeers and worn down faces, give me problems we can't solve
Give me hope through quiet hunger, a taste of that Great Lakes resolve

Give me minus fifteen and cloudy, give me red frost bitten cheeks
Give me swaths of muddy water as far as anyone can see
Give me jeers and worn down faces, give me problems we can't solve
Give me hope through quiet hunger, a taste of that Great Lakes resolve

Believe me when I say, "I will take this to my grave."
A burning love for my city, and a desperate need to stay away
