Sign On The Wall
We used to wait by the front door
For somebody to turn off
We used to stand by the telephone
Hoping somebody would come
We used to sleep in the tow trucks
Thinking somebody might break down
Stuck in a ditch on the side of the road
Or an accident somewhere in town
But nobody ever come
Nobody came in
Nobody even slowed down at all
We thought we bought the American Dream
We were just a sign on the wall
We used to throw up on the gravel
Just to keep the dust down
She put streamers in the window
We drove our prices through the ground
But nobody ever come
Nobody came in
Nobody even slowed down at all
We thought we bought the American Dream
We were just a sign on the wall
She's a Pentecostal
A true Nova Scotian
I got a job at the factory
And the bank ain't come down yet
And until they do I'm living here for free
But nobody ever comes
Nobody cames in
Nobody even slows down at all
We thought we bought the American Dream
We were just a sign on the wall
For somebody to turn off
We used to stand by the telephone
Hoping somebody would come
We used to sleep in the tow trucks
Thinking somebody might break down
Stuck in a ditch on the side of the road
Or an accident somewhere in town
But nobody ever come
Nobody came in
Nobody even slowed down at all
We thought we bought the American Dream
We were just a sign on the wall
We used to throw up on the gravel
Just to keep the dust down
She put streamers in the window
We drove our prices through the ground
But nobody ever come
Nobody came in
Nobody even slowed down at all
We thought we bought the American Dream
We were just a sign on the wall
She's a Pentecostal
A true Nova Scotian
I got a job at the factory
And the bank ain't come down yet
And until they do I'm living here for free
But nobody ever comes
Nobody cames in
Nobody even slows down at all
We thought we bought the American Dream
We were just a sign on the wall
