Intro
(mute the strings and strum the rhythm)
We walk up the paths of the banks of the mighty Susquehanna
With our feet made muddy by your tributaries
That trickle their way to the Chesapeake
It's like we follow I-83 down to the harbor cities
Strip malls and the tar-mac
People swirling and teaming
It seemed so exciting, but now it seems like such a blight
I grew up near Kentucky's Mt. Zion Road
All that was there was some old cemetary
I wanted nothing more than to be able to walk to the store
Now I don't live there but there's too many stores
Some apartments and a Sunoco
And I wonder what did they do with the bodies?
And I wonder what did they do with the bodies?
Oh!
Susquehanna (x4)
And I miss that place behind my house where I
Hiked and climbed and played
Where I'd ditch this noisy century or just
Hid out from the decade
M-I homes thought it could stand to be updated
Forced it all into a grid until it looks like the funny pages
With every trace of light that seems confined within a frame
The faces move from day to day but the strips all look the same
And the punchlines are resoundingly unfunny
For those trapped in this architecture of easy money
And I feel like this all come to no good
This kids who populate these cul-de-sacs will never know what stood
Beneath their cookie-cutter houses, fields and streams and woods
They'll sit in cars and wait for mom to drive them
Out of this boring neighborhood
Oh!
Susquehanna (x4)
And I wonder, what did they do with the bodies? (x2)
