Verse I
Im going home, Im smoking my last cigarette
The muffler shops shouting that shes in the city
The North Frozen Landfill I just cant forget
Cause it marks the town of my pity
Ori-on Town
Verse II
Oh now Rochester, you son of a bitch
Your psyches and streets are a tumult of achin
The awkwardest memories I just cant unstitch
At least they know theyre not forsaken in
Ori-on Town
Verse III
I- 75 is the swallower of Christmas
The gloom of its gladness is night on our shoulders
Connecting our sorrows like ponds with an isthmus
Frozen and covered with boulders in
Ori-on Town
Cycle through the chords twice
Verse IV
The yelling, the holler of the ghost I have squandered
The snow combed tight brightly mirrored false wonder there
That I did follow to the frozen water
As my family stood there and stared at
Ori-on Town
