[Verse 1]
When we got to Boston, we knew we'd missed a turn
No one back in traffic school had told us
There's signs that can't be learned
Geography's too stubborn, and people are too clear
So let's go find a road-side motel with a clerk who won't tell
Days will turn into nights, nights will turn into days, weeks, seasons, and years

[Bridge]
Oh years, we'll stay for years, oh years

[Verse 2]
Red and white for blood cells, red and white for wine
They could be the whole damn spectrum
If you'd all just let them
Lord, it's such a crime

[Pre-Chorus]
Working on an inch less waistband
In the strip mall wasteland, outside of this town
Or clawing at the penthouse kitchen floor for just one smidgen more
Everybody knows, everybody knows that it's in

[Chorus]
(The fix is in) The fix is in, the fix is in, the fix is in
(The fix is in) The fix is in, the fix is in, the fix is in
[Verse 3]
Let's go back to Boston, forget about the turn
Atlases and gas station attendants are none of our concern
We'll forge a little life dear, (oh dear) and double down our debts (oh dear)
And I guess it stands to reason that the passing seasons will slowly dull regrets

[Pre-Chorus]
Working on an inch less waistband
In the strip mall wasteland, outside of this town
Or clawing at the penthouse kitchen floor for just one smidgen more
Everybody knows, everybody knows that it's in

[Chorus]
(The fix is in) The fix is in, the fix is in, the fix is in
(The fix is in) The fix is in, the fix is in, the fix is in
(The fix is in) The fix is in
(The fix is in) The fix is in
The fix is in, the fix is in, the fix is in, the fix is in
Oh, the fix is in

[Outro]
Working on an inch less waistband
In the strip mall wasteland, outside of this town
Or clawing at the penthouse kitchen floor for just one smidgen more
Everybody knows, everybody knows that it's in
