10000 Maniacs - Earth Pressed Flat lyrics

Detroit, l.a.,boston, san francisco,<br>First time over the ocean on a plane<br>A billion stars below me lay,<br>Circle slowly jfk,<br>So much there to see inside of a week<br>They came looking for something new<br>Try to press it flat inside of a few days<br>Old dominion saturday, arlington's eternal flame<br>Sunday tour niagara falls in the mist.<br>Monday I'll be heading south<br>New orleans the cajun sound<br>Tuesday's tupelo elvis's home . . .<br>Try to press it flat inside of a few days<br>What a wonderful stay,<br>On a mule grand canyon ride on wednesday,<br>Hope to get to denver in a day friday<br>Ride to washington, in the glacial mountain sun<br>Hop a train for canada to the east<br>They came looking for something new<br>Try to press it flat inside of a few days<br>What a wonderful stay.
