lyrics

We rented the cheapest, smallest U-haul that we could
We got it seven hours later than they said that we would
We loaded as much furniture, books and kitchen stuff as we could manage in
I left my old bicycle in the alleyway

We set off across the prairies the next morning
We made good time, our hearts were pumping in our chests
We smuggled our pet lizard into a motel room in Regina
Because we were scared they'd try to charge a pet deposit

When we arrived it was drizzling rain and our new landlord was on the highway
On his way home from his cottage at the lake
We grabbed dinner at the neighborhood pub and deli
You ordered grasshopper out of loyalty to home

By the time we got the keys to our new apartment, it was pouring
The place was buzzing with mosquitoes inside
We carried all of our belongings up the narrow Wolseley stairs
And collapsed into our mattress on the floor
