For an hour I watch you as you prepare
For the inevitable disappointment
Reluctantly, I throw on my denim jacket
And I slip on my bleach stained shoes
And we pile in the car and we head East
Completely forgetting or ignoring the expected relief
That we foresee from a day spent in the city
Has never greeted us before
And we drive for an hour
through the traffic and red lights
And the smog cloaks the skyline
I can't find parking to save my life
Now I'm pissed off and I'm yelling
When suddenly and mercifully, the truth rings in us
Chicago's a mess and it's not worth the effort
We change course and floor it home
