Now the houses are ghosts over Silver Street They got dressed up like clowns Married couples slamming doors Bums praising the Lord You're playing tapes for the town Now the neighborhood's mixed And your college friends Are getting younger every year The wind don't blow, and the grass don't grow Ain't never leaving Silver Street You bought some brown wire frames at a joke shop That was your trademark at school Now they're barely hanging on And the styles are moving on It's hard for a man to stay cool So the seasons change And the storefronts change While everything else stays the same The wind don't blow, and the grass don't grow You're never leaving Silver Street But now don't get me wrong Cuz, I like this neighborhood Always see you as good But now we spent the day so completely uninspired Asking why oh why should I be tired? They're filling the pot holes in on Silver Street They're waking the neighbors up at noon Now your friends are out on break And you're out on your brown lawn Raking the dirt with a broom Well the seasons change And the storefronts change Everything else stays the same The wind don't blow, and the grass don't grow You're never leaving Silver Street Never leaving Never leaving Never leaving Never leaving oh, oh, oh
