about

During a dream of mine, this song was playing on the radio; Tom Waits was singing it. I had never been to Schenectady.
From the forthcoming album, You'd Say Anything to a Butterfly.

lyrics

I'm moving to Schenectady
Schenectady's the place for me
Yeah moving to Schenectady
Schenectady is where I wanna be

Well I don't know exactly where I am
But I know how fast I'm going
The cat's in the box and it could be alive
There's only one way of knowing

I'm moving to Schenectady
Schenectady, Schenectady

Well I don't know how fast I'm going
But I know just where I am
The box is agape and the cat has escaped
Uncertainty is the new plan

I'm moving to Schenectady
Schenectady will be home to me
Schenectady, Schenectady
There's room for me in Schenectady
