Flat

[Verse 1]

In the early part of the 20th Century

Deep inside the American wilderness

In the state of Kansas

82,000 square miles of flat

There were two automobile cars

On July 5th, 1904, they ran into each other

[Chorus]

Hey-ho, what do we know?!

I thought I heard STOP but I mighta said GO

[Verse 2]

For some reason I thought about you and me

I remember the day as if my life was flat

I looked up and there you were

I said to myself, "Look out honey, here I come!"

[Chorus]

Hey-ho, what do we know?!

I thought I heard STOP but I mighta said GO

[Bridge]

Flat is all that I see

Flat is all that I see

The train came back

It swallowed up the track

Now flat is all that I see

Flat is all that I see

[Chorus]

What do we know?!

Thought I heard STOP but I mighta said GO

[Verse 3]

In the days you been gone, I thought about them two cars

Weather conditions had been reasonable, visibility fine

I said to myself, "What was it?

An idea whose time had come?

Or maybe it... it had just seemed like a good idea at the time?"

[Chorus]

Hey-ho, what do we know?!

I thought I heard STOP but I mighta said GO

Hey-ho, what do we know?!

I thought I heard STOP but I mighta said GO
