The Moderner - The Upstate, New York Mountains

One evening as the sun went down
And Wall Street lay there burnin'
Down the street came a sasquatch hikin'
And he said, "Boys, I've been learnin'
About when to sell and when to stay
When the Wall Street clock is toutin'."
He said, "Come with me we'll go and see
The Upstate, New York Mountains

"In the Upstate, New York Mountains
You can hike all through the night
And in the darkness make a fire in the clearly moonlit night
Just go upstate and you will find an escape from the day to day
Just come with me, we'll go and see the Upstate, New York Mountains

"In the Upstate, New York Mountains
The rivers flow eternally
And you can sip its water
Don't you know it's free and clean
Sometimes some folks will try to take your picture
And your never really sure why
This sasquatch man's got the answers in a can
In the Upstate, New York Mountains

"So I know you might be wonderin'
Why I set Wall Street afire
Well, it's simply 'cause the thieves all come
To build upon these mountains
So I strolled all through their valley
And learned what makes 'em tick
Then I lit a stove in Widow's Grove
And lit some gas that caused a backdraft
In the Wall Street town below"

Well let's get there quick and we'll take our pick
Of the land up above the widowed dove
In the Upstate, New York Mountains
