Eleanor, put those boots back on
Kick the heels into the Brooklyn dirt
I know it isn't dignified to run
But if you run, you can run to the Coney Island rollercoaster
Ride to the highest point and leap across the filthy water
Leap until the Gulf Stream's brought you down

I could be there when you land
I could be there when you land

So Eleanor, take a Greenpoint three-point turn towards the hidden sun
You know you are so elegant when you run
Oh, if you run, you can run to that statue with the dictionary
Climb to her fingernail and leap
Yeah, take an atmospheric leap
And let the jet stream set you down

I could be there when you land
I could be there when you land
I could be there when you land

So Eleanor, put those boots back on
Put the boots back on and run
Run, come on over here, come on over here, come on over here

    Eleanor Friedberger is the singer/guitarist from The Fiery Furnaces.

    I'm pretty certain he's talking about her.
