Ben Folds Effington Lyrics

Effington Lyrics

If there's a God, he is laughing at us

and our football team.



Effington could be a wonderful effing place

I can see it from the
highway and I'm wondering

Are they effing in their yards?

Effing in
their cars?

Effing in the trailers in the back roads and the parking
lots

of Effington? Making my way to Normal, Illinois.



Maybe
I should ditch this little white rental on the interstate,

start a new
effing life in Effington.

I could change my name, grow a beard, start a
family

or I could just keep on moving on, moving on, moving on, moving
on....

and not stop 'til I get to Normal.



I want to live in
Effington.

I want to die there too.

Please bury me in Effington

in Effington, in Effington, oh



I've got this movie in my mind of
Effington

and the soundtrack to it sounds like this (da da da da da
da)



I want to live in Effington.

I want to die there
too.

Please bury me in Effington

in Effington, in Effington, oh



If there's a God he is laughing at us

and our football team.



And then the people who live in Normal

can buy the movies that
I'll make in Effington

that's what Normal people do

Do Normal
people do it too?

Normal people do it, people do it, people do it....



I want to live in Effington.

I want to die there too.

Please bury me in Effington

in Effington, in Effington, in Effington,
in Effington, in Effington!
