Queen Elizabeth park
Where my mood's always stark
And those damned ole bridges are always under construction
Up about the Hudson bay
Where the water-treatment plant stays
And the boys in the break-room play with the microwave
Who's in the hospital
But Alan from the sports track he's been riddled
Who's in the orphanage
But the future son-in-law of Billy Higgins
Grinding ax in the Adirondacks
Grinding ax on the Adirondacks
Adirondacks
Adirondacks
What about the carpet plant
Where your sister is a giant
She runs that thing tighter than the QE2
What about Dawson bridge
Where suicide is a cinch
Nobody in the city can even see you fall
Who's in the shopping center
But those thrifty twits from across the river
Who works at the flour mill
But a bunch of Russians eating three square meals
Grinding ax in the Adirondacks
Grinding ax on the Adirondacks
Adirondacks
Adirondacks
There is the stadium
Where you go to watch your daughter and son
Getting dirty and getting acclimated
There is the radio tower
It's a billion watts of pure power
If I stray off that way I always end up getting wasted
Who hands out at Richmond park
But a bunch of cute boys wearing argyle socks
Who hangs at the skating rink
But a doctor from the college who knows how to wink
Grinding ax in the Adirondacks
Grinding ax on the Adirondacks
Adirondacks
Adirondacks
Adirondacks
Adirondacks
