Earth Pressed Flat Lyrics - 10,000 Maniacs

Earth Pressed Flat
Detroit, L.A.,Boston, San Francisco
first time over the ocean on a plane
a billion stars below me lay
circle slowly JFK
so much there to see inside of a wee
they came looking for something new
try to press it flat inside of a few days
Old Dominion Saturday, Arlington's eternal flame
Sunday tour Niagara Falls in the mist.
Monday I'll be heading sout
New Orleans the Cajun soun
Tuesday's Tupelo Elvis's home . .
try to press it flat inside of a few days
what a wonderful stay
on a mule Grand Canyon ride on Wednesday
hope to get to Denver in a day Friday
ride to Washington, in the glacial mountain sun
hop a train for Canada to the eas
they came looking for something new
try to press it flat inside of a few day
what a wonderful stay.
