"The Earth Pressed Flat" by 10000 Maniacs

Detroit, L.A., Boston, San Francisco, 
first time o'er the ocean on a plane a billion stars below
me lay, 
circle slowly JFK, 
so much there to see inside of a week 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 south New Orleans the Cajun sound 
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 east they came looking for something new 
try to press it flat inside of a few days what a wonderful
stay
