Lyrics

[ti:Under the Wire]
[ar:Matt the Electrician]
[al:It's a Beacon It's a Bell]
[00:13.55] I'm a ridiculous American sitting in a Burger King
[00:16.82] On the side of the highway in another country.
[00:19.79] It is actually Denmark.
[00:21.52] It is actually beautiful.
[00:22.95] I'm reading a novel by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki.
[00:39.63] It is a story of Japan.
[00:41.46] It is a story of a family
[00:43.00] In the 1930s before World War II.
[00:45.99] It was a long time ago.
[00:47.59] It was a long ways away
[00:49.25] As far as right here as I am to you.
[01:04.42][02:29.03][03:27.73] And under the wire
[01:07.49][02:32.06][03:31.17] They held up the hands,
[01:10.06][02:34.73][03:33.78] Their wedding bands,
[01:13.43][02:38.19][03:37.42] Waiting in order
[01:18.08][02:42.49] When order was everything.
[01:37.82] And I'm thinking that these truckers
[01:39.76] At this truck stop in Denmark
[01:41.31] Look almost like the truckers we have back home
[01:44.26] And a van pulls up. It is a UPS van,
[01:47.39] And I want to crawl inside it so I don't feel so alone.
[02:04.20] And I cannot use my phone 'cause it is too expensive
[02:07.62] And I hope the tour van remembers where I am
[02:10.74] The radio is playing a song by Shakira.
[02:13.85] I've heard it twice already; I'm gonna here it again.
[03:12.14] I was told I would be waiting for two whole hours,
[03:15.61] So I read my book at the Burger King.
[03:18.85] And exactly at the end of the two whole hours
[03:22.33] A van pulled up, and I was on the road again.
[03:41.87] When order was everything
