lyrics

Woke up this morning with an aching in my head
Guess I didn't wake up at all I never went to bed
Its the tossing and the turning on account of missing you
and the place we'd swim where the stream made the pool

They told me when I'd get here there'd be water where I walked
But the Mississippi's damned up chained up and locked
And on every shoreline signs black and red
Saying no trespassing likely end up dead

Here I am here I am Minneapolee - ay - oo
Here I am here I am Minneapolee - ay - oo

There's a murder of crows and a murderous steel
Tall glass buildings cut the sky to it's heel
And all of the people hung up inside
Just like Charlie said the village don't go outside

So I go farther north where the rice is wild and free
And the loons claim the lakes and there's still some honeybees
But up there they got little boxes just the same
and every paved street's a fake Indian name

Here I am here I am Minneapolee - ay - oo
Here I am here I am Minneapolee - ay - oo

I guess here it ain't no different it's all stolen land
anywhere I walk I got the blood on my hand
So I'll try and even out what's lost and whats to win
and just keep on a keepin on in Saint Paul's Twin

Here I am here I am Minneapolee - ay - oo
Here I am here I am Minneapolee - ay - oo
