lyrics

All of which is how we came to name the baby Elizabeth
after the town in which we finally settled down
Not my choice, but the walls were peeling, we were stealing
lunch from the old folks home across the lot
Oh New Jersey everywhere you reek of photographs
smokestacks line your avenues
our house is down under the freeway
and we're crammed together
still, I wish you'd lived to see it all

At night the baby cries I tell her you'd love her even so
someday I know I'll tell her more
For now we're living with these shaking walls
from 18-wheelers
everyone's so fast away from here

I wonder where we'd be if we had stayed with you
I know a better, better place
Before you met that slow and lonely killer
you were always quick to find a way around it all
Please don't hate me for the way I left before you knew
about my role in everything
All those years we lived and loved above that tainted ground
I could not bear to see it end
