Somebody painted the old parker place in the middle of the night Jason swore that in the window he could see some faint blue light But they already cut down the cypress tree, there's crab grass all around Growing in the middle of the tire swing that still sits on the ground chorus: The circus hasn't been back since 1984 And Main Street ain't the center of town anymore Now the ghosts are dying for somebody to scare By summer you keep saying you'll be gone from there But there'll be snowflakes in your hair snowflakes in your hair snowflakes in your hair Sometimes winter's early, and it never wants to go Winter came to town and stayed about a decade back or so But the tire tracks from the high school kids is all that's left today After old man parker split no one else could stand to stay I know that his old empty house is haunted by his ghost Even though he didn't die, he just moved out to the coast That house is like a gravestone for town that's long since dead And I thought they were gonna tear it down from what Lila said Chorus Jason said "There's nothing in the town for me anymore, I'll have to go away you and I are still young right now, but we'll never stay that way" There are ghosts of dead people, but sometimes towns die too And suddenly the Parker place has been painted midnight blue There are specks of paint on the tire swing, but no prints in the snow And everybody's asking around but no one seems to know When all this snow is melted we might find out who is was Spring has to get here sometime, but I bet it never does Chorus October 2000
