Manitoba Bound Songtext
von Whitehorse

We up and flew the coop way out to Manitoba
September 1981
My mother found herself some kind of trouble
Some unspeakable thing that she had done

Then along comes one talk dark and handsome stranger
Miss, it don′t matter what you did
Then my brother JD he appeared that winter
His neck as long as 15 other kids

Now there's a point at which I′m gonna make shit up
When the truth starts boring me to tears
But so far, I'll just stick to simple facts
'Cause I ain′t had to make shit up in years


We grew up not knowing we were extraterrestrials
Fell out of coldest Northern Lights
With our ticks and our kinks and our crazy mama
Well, everything is gonna work out right

Now there′s a point at which I'm gonna make shit up
When the truth starts boring me to tears
But so far, I′ll just stick to simple facts
'Cause I ain′t had to make shit up in years

It ain't pretty but that′s how this cookie crumbles
And I do now and then at the thought of it
When it's funny once and lucky water passes under
Underneath the old Maryland bridge

Now there's a point at which I′m gonna make shit up
When the truth starts boring me to tears
But so far, I′ll just stick to simple facts
'Cause I ain′t had to make shit up in years (oh)
I ain't had to make shit up in years

(Wooh)
