2541 Songtext

von Robert Forster

Jimmy gave me the number
Jerry gave us a place to stay
And Billy got a hold of a van
And man we moved in the very next day

To twenty-five forty-one
Big windows to let in the sun
Twenty-five forty-one

Well I put down the money
And I picked up the keys
We had to keep the stove on all night long
So the mice wouldn't freeze

You put our names on the mailbox
And I put everything else in the past
It was the first place we had to ourselves
I didn't know it would be the last

Twenty-five forty-one
Big windows to let in the sun
Twenty-five forty-one

Now everything is over
Now everything is done
Everything's in boxes
At twenty-five forty-one

Well things are so much different now
I'd say the situation's reversed
And it'll probably not be the last time
I'll have to be out by the first

Twenty-five forty-one
Big windows to let in the sun
