"The Landfill" lyrics

This is an ode to eternity
Sung by an old show pony
In this long, slow rodeo
I've come to know

Lookin' down from the landfill
I can see the city lights a-shimmerin'
And it's like a holy vision
Of what could be
And couldn't be
And could have been
And now I'm sitting in the car
Thinking, "It's written in the stars..."

This is the end of the movie
The Song of the Bawling Beauty
It was such a sad, sweet story
Maybe eventually you'll see

So yeah, you've seen into my heart
And you've seen what I never really could
Now I'm lookin' down from the landfill
I see the lights of your neighborhood
Yeah, I always knew you would
End up somewhere good

Yeah, I always knew you would
End up somewhere good

And now I'm sitting in the car
Thinking, "It's written in the stars..."
