lyrics

Not much change on Cannery Row
it's only rock bottom when you've landed below
see you're staring out to sea & you're standing alone
when you're man enough to leave but the plan is on hold
felt the wind off the coast, a bit cold for the zip code & time of year
he headed to the corner store & copped a quart of beer
biologist, ecologist, just call extraordinaire
and to his friends he's sorta like a pier
they'd probably drown without him
the force of the waves turn you deaf when they're pounding
blinded by the sun
numbed by the buzz
water every flow til it bud
so small every shower is a thud
every moment is a blotch
bleeding every color of the rainbow as a boat rows to any dock
while all they do is watch
headed to a flower shop
the hustle & the bustle moves a muscle never stops

Chorus:

Not much change on Cannery Row...

Not much change for the can of sardines
putting life in perspective when we stand in ravines
some days he feels he's a stand in for scenes
like he's acting like a man with a dream
who knows what he'll find put his hand out & reached
pushed the sky away he stands on a beach
no need to fly away
only once or twice he ever used the fireplace
across the street and buy a date
& fortify a finer taste
for camaraderie, aging like the wine it made
this time of day show colors they only heard about
in a book of course a different form of word of mouth
spotted her shadow, so he turned around
scratched his skull
the only woman that he's nervous 'round after all
drank copiously til last call 
so much more to dissect
not worried about his biceps
just a bit colder than last fall
had this conversation Thursday
so much more to digest

Chorus (x2):

Not much change on Cannery Row
it's only rock bottom when you've landed below
see you're staring out to sea & you're standing alone
when you're man enough to leave but the plan is on hold
