lake ontario

it's a long walk home when you feel dead on your feet

and it's hard to hold your head up on nights like these

you can feel the warehouse hours breaking you slowly

your letter said it's only a fifteen hour drive

is there room in toronto for one more

can i lay low on the west shore of lake ontario

hard times going around

they're getting harder still

and you can hear the laughter from the mansion on the hill

and the time clocks marking the minutes

and it sounds like gunshots

the only plan that i got is leaving everything behind

is there room in toronto for one more

can i lay low on the west shore of lake ontario

i'm not paying what i owe

i'm headed north through ohio to lake ontario

o' lake ontario!
