[Verse 1: John Flansburgh & John Linnell]
Walking through a world so dated
Made of bones and wood so ancient
Bitter dudes throwing rocks and flipping birds

[Verse 2: John Flansburgh & John Linnell]
In this town of rude deceivers
Please make way for two believers
They can't lie and their arms are open wide

[Pre-Chorus 1: John Flansburgh & John Linnell]
The corner phone booth
In its youth
Loved burning leaves and morning suits
It's true

[Chorus: John Flansburgh & John Linnell]
The only smokestack coming back is me for you
With love that’s impossibly new

[Verse 3: John Flansburgh & John Linnell]
As we gather 'round the campfire
Telling tales of local vampires
Don't get scared of the shadows over there

[Pre-Chorus 2: John Flansburgh & John Linnell]
Two for once
We'll have a ball
Run through the sodium pentothal
It's true
[Chorus: John Flansburgh & John Linnell]
The only smokestack coming back is me for you
With love that's impossibly new
Impossibly new
