Dan Bern - I'm Not from Around Here Lyrics
Does green mean stop or go, is plastic good to eatShould I put a hat on my head or on my feetTell me why a birthday comes only once a yearI’m not from around hereWhat do chickens dream about when they lay their eggs at nightWhy do tears and laughter sound so much alikeWhy are there so many different kinds of beerI’m not from around hereWho receives on Christmas Eve, what’s reason and what’s rhymeShow me, tell me, ring my bell, we haven’t got much timeHow do windshield wipers know when it starts to rainHow do the commuters know when it’s time to leave the trainWhat is hate, what’s boredom, what’s jealousy, what’s fearI’m not from around here
