at the corner store

At the corner store
It’s the corner of a brand new world
You can go in there
Just to know what it feels like

It’s open
And you’re goin in
Oh and you know you can
Hoping you can stay there forever

Dun-da-dun-dun-dun
I'm tall and handsome
Dun-da-dun-dun-dun
And I'm dancing on the floor

At the corner store
We go all around the world
Till it closes

At the corner store
It’s like no other store you’ve been in before
But now you’re here
And you feel these emotions

If you close your eyes
You can watch the minutes of each day going by
But in the store you’ll find
The day lasts forever

Dun-da-dun-dun-dun
I call and you’ll answer
Dum-da-dum-dum-dum
And we’ll dance through the door

At the corner store
We go all around the world
Till it closes

And the store is opening
You can go through the door
Through the rectangular hole in the wall

That’s pretty cool
Hell that’s pretty good
Tell that to the
Whole dangm neigh-bour-hood

And all the people go
Damn, hell, that’s pretty weird
But it seems so logical
So sensible

Save that for the screen
Save that for the cover of a brand new magazine
With 27 pages all over the floor
Where everyone can read them

At the corner store
Up at the corner of a brand new world
It’s right here
At a brand new location

You can go outside
And wave hi to all the other stores going by
Then one day
We will all be together

Dun-da-dun-dun-dun
When you call I’ll answer
Dun-da-dun-dun-dun
And I'm dancing on the wall

At the corner store
You remember who you are
Then it slips away
Then remember more

At the corner store
We go all around the world
Then it closes
