The car pulled up, the driver spoke out
I'm ready to believe, though I still have my doubts
Even if I am one of the stranger ones
I know they won't let me go without some trial

Leave Toledo as fast as you can
Before they give you some other plan, man
I've spent a lifetime collecting things
And I like the names more than anything

Take St. James Way (Voie lactée)
Take St. James Way, don't ever doubt it

The first to tell, the last to hear
No coup d'état can make me push out my tears
I've spent a lifetime observing things
And I like my fear more than anything

No, there is no way to charm the galaxy
I know what you mean
But you've seen this before in every American movie since 1-9-70

Take St. James Way (Voie lactée)
Take St. James Way (Voie lactée)
Take St. James Way (Voie lactée)
Take St. James Way, don't ever doubt it

The woman who does the math in her head
Tells me I'll never have a castle of my own
I don't want a castle, just a door to shut
She says finding food will be tough enough

Take St. James Way (Voie lactée)
Take St. James Way (Voie lactée)
Take St. James Way (Voie lactée)
Take St. James Way, don't ever doubt it

No, there is no way to charm the galaxy
I know what you mean
No, there is no way to charm the galaxy
I know what you mean
No, there is no way to charm the galaxy
I know what you mean
No, there is no way to charm the galaxy
I know what you mean
