lyrics

Rhode Island (110 rpm - Eb)

VERSE 1

Rhode Island
Rhode Island
Rhode Island
I grew up in Newport city

Rhode Island
Not an Island
Like Coney Island
I took the ferry from Jersey

BRIDGE 1

And there’s the house where I was born
Oh it was torn down in 1993
The year they built the Walmart
The one that everybody thought
Would somehow bring back the community

VERSE 2

Long Island
Long Island
Long Island
I fell in love here with Zooey

BRIDGE 2

And there’s the bar where she poured drinks
She used the money to finish her degree
They day she graduated
we met and celebrated
with a bottle on the Staten Island Ferry

And in the distance in the rain
I still see the statue
as she holds on to her flame
Waiting for the sun to set,
so she can light god’s cigarette
And tell the story of how you came to me

CHORUS

Her lips taste like Prosecco
Roam the beaches of love

Her favourite colour was yellow
I love what we’ve become
Oh yeah

VERSE 3

Rhode Island
Rhode Island
Rhode Island
Now we're back in Newport city
We moved back to Newport city
city

Jon Cohen Ex image

Jon Cohen Ex Montréal, Québec

Fantasy prom king, master crafter of cult-pop gems and multi-threat instrumentalist Jon Cohen Experimental creates sweet but potent stories that spring from curiosity. This dynamic one-man band's beguiling art rock inventions and melodic hooks promise a sultry escape from those pesky workaday hang-ups. At times folksy, indie and at times grungy, the E.L.O vs. 90’s vibe is raw and unapologetic. ... more
