Twenty - Five Forty - One Lyrics - Marshall Crenshaw

(grant hart) 

Jenny gave us a number 

Jenny gave us a place to stay 

Billy got hold of a van 

And then we moved the very next day 

To twenty-five forty-one, big windows to lay in the sun 

Twenty-five forty-one, big windows to lay in the sun 

We put down the money 

Then we picked up the keys 

We had to keep the stove on all night long so the mice wouldn't freeze 

I put our names on the mailbox 

And I put everything else in the past 

It was the first place we'd ever had to ourselves 

I didn't know it would be the last 

Twenty-five forty-one, big windows to lay in the sun 

Twenty-five forty-one, big windows to lay in the sun 

Now everything is over 

Everything is done 

Everything's in boxes now 

At twenty-five forty-one 

Things are so much different now 

You could say the situation's reversed 

And it will not be the last time I'll have to be out by the first 

Twenty-five forty-one, big windows to lay in the sun 

Twenty-five forty-one, big windows to lay in the sun 

Twenty-five forty-one...
