Why We Don't Live In Mauritania Lyrics

She asked why my love would last for long

What in her world I base it on

I said "what a 'girl' way to relate

Throw what works fine up for debate"

And let it go

But I'll admit I didn't know

I'd assume there's some convention

To obviate the question

And move these things along

19th Street exit with the oaks

And the head-soothing shade of hoax

No city boards in '23

Stayed up nights planning routes for me

And that's fine

But I'll admit I wouldn't mind

Letting someone do the driving

Who knows where we're arriving

Despite hysteria

That's why we don't live in Mauritania

Why we like something else going on

Why we all moved to California

And not Boca Raton

I lost my backpack on the trainLoud Family - Why We Don't Live In Mauritania - http://motolyrics.com/loud-family/why-we-dont-live-in-mauritania-lyrics.html

It had more in it than my brain

Will I now have to learn again

How to love things, each like a friend

Same deal

But I'll admit it's lost appeal

I keep filling binder pages

That I won't read for ages

Regret it when I do

New York scenes with the way they talk

Knock me out when they jazz the rock

Cold keeps Chicago boyfriends warm

I dig how they defy the norm

The West Coast, well

I'll admit it's still the most

Hanging out near Manson slayings

Industrial decayings

Inverse utopia

That's why we don't live in Mauritania

Why we like something else going on

Why we all moved to California

And not Saskatchewan

Or Sierra Leone
