lyrics

For as long as I remember
I swear I've had the same damn cold
Even in the summer
I've got a runny nose
I'm not cut out for this climate
I've got to get to the coast

I can't afford the cost of living
But the big city's calling me now
I can't afford another winter
It's do or die and I'll decide how
I'd rather starve in Vancouver than freeze in a prairie town

So if I wind up on the street
If I can't afford my rent
I'll still purchase a postcard
Of February flowers to send
Mail it back to the prairies
Sign it hope to never see you again

If I die of hunger
Please fulfill my last request
Bury me on the beach
The absolute farthest one west
I'll be six feet under ground
At least I'll never feel that winter again

I can't afford the cost of living
But the big city's calling me now
(Can’t afford to live no more)
I can't afford another winter
It's do or die and I'll decide how
(Can’t afford to live no more)
Oh I'd rather starve in Vancouver than freeze in a prairie town
