They Might Be Giants - The Great Walled City lyrics

Leaving Anaheim swiftly at dawn, They Might
Be Giants drives north to Canada, and
The great walled city of Vancouver the
Venue is Richard's on Richards
So named for it's
Location on Richards Street
And presumably for the fact that
It is owned by someone
Named Richard but They Might
Be Giants doesn't
Care instead, they empty their minds
And create a song entirely unrelated
To the venue it'self

They Might Be Giants drives north
To Vancouvеr to a
Cinema turned-rock club called Richard's
On Richards as they arrive at the venue
Nestled in the heart of the
Red light district, they cannot
Help but wonder
"Is this all a grand mistake?" Were
The proprietors expecting the band or
A 16mm print of an old George
C scott film? Or perhaps they
Were expecting a 16mm print of something
More nefarious? Hoping to quell
Yet another George C scott-fueled riot
The band attempts to pacify the
Crowd with a song fixed on
The venue's hypnotically redundant name
Richard's on Richards on Richards on Richards
