Sweethearts & Quot ; Lyrics - Camper Van Beethoven

'cause he's always living back in dixon 

Circa 1949 

And we're all sitting at the fountain, at the five and dime 

'cause he's living in some b-movie 

The lines they are so clearly drawn 

In black and white life is so easy 

And we're all coming along on this one 

'cause he's on a secret mission 

Headquarters just radioed in 

He left his baby at the dancehall 

While the band plays on some sweet song 

And on a mission over china 

The lady opens up her arms 

The flowers bloom where you haved placed them 

And the lady smiles, just like mom 

Angels wings are icing over 

Mcdonnell-douglas olive drab 

They bear the names of our sweethearts 

And the captain smiles, as we crash 

'cause in the mind of ronald reagan 

Wheels they turn and gears they grind 

Buildings collapse in slow motion 

And trains collide, everything is fine 

Everything is fine 

Everything is fine
