lyrics

The Erie Canal contained Robert Fulton’s monster
And a few crates of goods, from 1820’s Boston
And in her stomach the rumbling sound of increasing pressure
Scared the hell out of a well-dressed, yet mediocre captain
Who felt the dawning of a sudden realization cue
The commodities in the under carriage were worth far less than a rescue
And in an attempt to delay the inevitable end
That captain jumped ship, and swam til his last breath

And he flowed
With the current
And it took him
To Rhode Island

The city of Providence holds a lovely university
And a few thousand kids from a modern Ivy century
And in its cortex the rumbling sound of increasing knowledge
Shakes the grounds of the small private college
That feels the dawning, of a sudden realization cue
The price of admission is worth a lot more than the value
And in an attempt to make and do mend
They write it all off as a means to an end

And he flowed
With the current
And it took him
To Providence

The city of Providence holds a lovely university
The city of Providence has an excellent bar scene
The city of Providence has some nice places to eat
And a victim of Robert Fulton’s monster
Under their feet
