Lake Ontario Lyrics

Dear Landlord Lake Ontario

it's a long walk home when you feel dead on your feet
and it's hard to hold your head up on nights like these
you can feel the warehouse hours breaking you slowly
your letter said it's only a fifteen hour drive

is there room in Toronto for one more
can I lay low on the west shore of Lake Ontario

hard times going around, they're getting harder still
and you can hear the laughter from the mansion on the hill
and the time clocks marking the minutes
and it sounds like gunshots
the only plan that I got is leaving everything behind

is there room in Toronto for one more
can I lay low on the west shore of Lake Ontario
I'm not paying what I owe
I'm headed north through Ohio to Lake Ontario
O' Lake Ontario!
