live in america
with a pair of payless shoes
the upper penisula
and the television news
and i've seen my wife
at the k-mart
in strange ideas
we live apart

i live in a trailer home
with a snow mobile, my car
the window is broken out
and the interstate is far
i drove all night
to find my child
in strange ideas
he's been revived

in strange ideas
in stranger times
i've no idea
what's right sometimes
i lost my mind
i lost my life
i lost my job
i lost my wife
