Song information
Wrote the music for this in 1995-96. Didn't come up with lyrics 'til about 2010. About living in the past and shutting out the modern world which is what I'm sure some of us would like to do. The bridge with the weird key changes was put in as an homage to "My Attorney Bernie," by Dave Frishberg, but was also kind of a Stevie Wonder thing or something Sly Stone would have done around "There's A Riot Going On."

Lyrics
Well this house will stand for five more years
And the way we live life never seems to change
But you know we do it to ourselves gotta hide hide hide
Yes that's right we do it to ourselves gotta hide hide hide
Time freezes here

Watch me takin' out my gran torino
Watch me pull it out into the road

You say I wear the same shirt every day
While we play Channel F and stare at the shag
And don't tell me about the water heater gotta hide hide hide
I know it's going bad for years  gotta hide hide
Time freezes here

Watch me drive around my gran torino
watch me do the curves around Snake Hill

Don't tell me what to do
I'm fast when you are slow
And when I stop you go
I lay it on the line
I'm fast when you are slow
But when I stop you go 

Should I be impressed with your friends
Your technologies and your karaoke bars
You go ahead and send your selfies gotta hide hide hide
Back to the attic artificats gotta hide hide hide
Time freezes here

Watch me put away my gran torino
Watch me put the keys under the drawer

REPEAT  FIFTH VERSRE UNTIL END
