"At The Corner Store" lyrics

"At The Corner Store"

At the corner store
It's the corner of a brand new world
You can go in there
Just to know what it feels like
It's open
And you're goin' in, oh, and you know you can
Hoping
You can stay there forever

Dun-da-dun-dun-dun
I'm tall and handsome
Dun-da-dun-dun-dun
And I'm dancing on the floor

At the corner store
We go all around the world
Then it closes

At the corner store
It's like no other store you've been in before
But now you're here
And you feel these emotions
If you close your eyes
You can watch the minutes of each day going by
But in the store you'll find
The day lasts forever

Dun-da-dun-dun-dun
I call and you'll answer
Dun-da-dun-dun-dun
And we'll dance through the door

At the corner store
We'll go all around the world
'Til it closes

And the store is opening
You can go through the door
Through that rectangular hole in the wall

That's pretty cool
Hell, that's pretty good
Tell that to the whole damn neighborhood
And all the people go, "Damn"
Hell, that's pretty weird, but it seems so logical
So sensible
Save that for the screen
Save that for the cover
Of a brand new magazine with twenty seven pages
All over the floor
Where everyone can read them

At the corner store
Up at the corner of a brand new world
It's right here
At a brand new location
You can go outside
And wave "hi" to all the other stores going by
Then one day
We will all be together

Dun-da-dun-dun-dun
When you call, I'll answer
Dun-da-dun-dun-dun
And I'm dancing on the wall

At the corner store
You remember who you are
Then it slips away
Then remember more
At the corner store
We go all around the world
Then it closes
