Fruit Bats
Tegucigalpa
I was born in Tegucigalpa the only day it ever snowed there
Was a frozen wave that killed the yucca and the Adam's fig
Always seem to bring the cold anywhere I ever go
That's just the way it's always gonna be

My family moved us ever northward up to the terra borealis
Along the crooked pikes of the ruminants and voyageurs
My heart belongs to the smoke of Hamilton and Monongahela
And all the dirty cities along the way

But you know they all lied to you
Them there with the spider eyes
I'll always keep you warm
I'll always treat you nice

I was floating just this morning
Woke up a thousand miles from nowhere
I'm a broke-legged paint in a herd of unicorns, you know
I always seem to bring the gray skies every time I ever fly
To all the dirty cities along the way

But you know they all lied to you
Those folks with the spider eyes
I'll always keep you warm
I'll always treat you nice
I'll never snow on your parade
I'll never snow on your parade
I'll never bring a cloudy day
I'll never snow on your parade

Thank you all so very much, you crossers of the many time zones
I'm heading back to the place that makes sense to me
'Cause my heart belongs to the snows of Buffalo and Chicago
And all the dirty cities along the way

Whoa, and all the dirty cities along the way
Oh, and all the dirty cities along the way
