[Intro]
[Verce 1]
Holden Caulfield knocked on my door,
He'd just run away from school.
"Hey, brother, why the rush?
Tired of learning irregular verbs?"
[Verce 2]
How's your little sister? How's New York?
Have you visited them yet?
I probably would have been thrilled,
And when was the last time you ate?
[Chorus]
Where were you rushing to? Where were you running?
What were you lacking?
Salinger didn't finish something,
Something was constantly hindering him.
[Ver e 3 ]
Come in, and put your bag down here,
Rest, I won't scold you.
I'm over the cliff, in the rye, like you,
I used to love to dream too.
[Chorus]
Where were you rushing to? Where were you running?
What were you lacking?
Salinger didn't finish something,
Something was constantly hindering him.
[Verce 4]
I always liked your hyperboles,
I wish I could leave like you,
And sit on an atomic bomb without harm
To our big and beloved Earth.
[Chorus]
Where were you rushing to? Where were you running?
What were you lacking?
Salinger didn't finish something,
Something was constantly hindering him.
[Verce 5]
And they finished the story for him,
The boy who ran away into life.
The boy ended up in a sanatorium for old folks,
Holden, you're not a boy anymore, accept it!
[Chorus]
Where were you rushing to? Where were you running?
What were you lacking?
Salinger didn't finish something,
Something was constantly hindering him.
[Chorus]
Where were you rushing to? Where were you running?
What were you lacking?
Salinger didn't finish something,
Something was constantly hindering him.
