The Earth Pressed Flat Lyrics - 10,000 Maniacs

Detroit, L.A., Boston, San Francisco 

First time over 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 

They came looking for something new 

Try to press it flat inside of a few days 

What a wonderful stay 

On a mule, Grand Canyon ride on Wednesday 

I 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
