The Red Light District of Iowa City
I was back at your house talking to the big mistake
While you complicated matters at the farmhouse late Saturday
Why do you play the game as if you were born and bred
In the red light district of Iowa City
Two dirty bookstores half-heartedly compete
On a lonesome stretch of Kirkwood Street
Smaller cities offer fewer opportunities
To engage in semi-ethical activities. No excuse
For wanton abuse of young men liable to lose their heads
In the red light district of Iowa City
Directly across from a legendary local bar
Named for the Wright Brothers—you remember who they are
Visionary thinkers, dedicated pioneers
Focused on a single enterprise for many years. They engineered
A pivotal flight like you, whose paramours up and fled
From the red light district of Iowa City |
