The dance is to the tune "Red Star Line" 



 It's autumn in Amherst and I'm wondering why 
There's no leaves on the ground and not dark by five
It's dull  on the East coast and that's why we choose rock and 
Time sure flies when you're tossing clocks

In our town, we sit around
Watching movies and hanging out
In our town, we've imprinted our bodies into leather couches
It's autumn in Amherst and I'm wondering why 
There's no leaves on the ground and not dark by five
It's dull on the East coast and that's why we choose rock and 
Time sure flies when you're tossing clocks

Don't get me wrong
In our town, we watch the rain turn to leaves turning to snow 
In our town, we choose strings and keys over desks and essays
Autumn will never change
The suburbs inside us will never go away 
They won't go away

It's autumn in Amherst and I'm wondering why
There's no leaves on the ground and not dark by five 
It's dull on the East coast and that's why we choose rock and 
Time sure flies when you're tossing clocks

Don't get me wrong
We have our fun
Don't get me wrong
We have our fun.
