Lyrics
1
Mountains must be high, valleys should be low
A cliff is always sheer, plateaus are status quo
We prefer the Tropics but not forevertime
The changin’ of the seasons can keep a lid on crime.
Flowers full ‘o Spring, skip the Winter ice,
Some ornamental snow, not more than once or twice.
As long we’re inside, winds can have a roar,
Tide can rip around the point, temp’rature can soar.
CHORUS:
We can call it subpar, we can score it five stars.
Watch what they throw away
Check the air where kids play
Picture taken yesterday
Livin’ Livin’ Livin’
Do you think, think we could live,
Think we could live here?
2
Roast a couple tubers, marinate a bird,
Char whatever’s handy, top it with some herbs.
Don’t forget the cheese, the dough has gotta rest,
Get some fruity salsa, better when it’s fresh.
Everybody’s pancake’s a version of diverse;
Wrap it, fold it, tear it, roll it in reverse.
Fill it up with savory, smother it in sweet,
Flip it off the griddle, cover it with meat.
CHORUS
3
Off-season visits will show you day-to-day.
Learn la lingua franca, do they chant or do they pray?
Public transportation helps you to explore;
Asking for directions will open up some doors.
Local signs and logos, fashion with a face
Shines a light inside an unfamiliar place.
Aged couple holding hands through the garden gate
Waving to the neighbor boy returning from a date.
CHORUS
