Splitsville Lyrics
Splitsville
Quitsville
You want to go to Splitsville
I got a full tank, let’s ride
And my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Splitsville
I know the way
And I’ll end up there one day in Splitsville
On a natural high
My, my, my, my, my, my, my
Be beautiful, never cry
Splitsville
You don’t need a name
Everybody there behaves the same
You’re not the only one who didn’t sleep last night
My, my, my, my, my, my, my
Feel a-okay, quite all right
Is there something you’ve got waiting
Something you want too much
Hurry up now, you’ll miss your bus
To Splitsville
And end up right back here
Just screaming
About Splitsville
Splitsville, Splitsville
Don’t dream of death
In the other world
There’s no diet bars and no pretty girls
No pusher man to fuck up your mind
My, my, my, my, my, my, my
You feel a-okay all the time
Something you’ve got waiting
Something you want too much
Hurry up now, you’ll miss your bus
To Splitsville
And end up right back here
Quitsville
You want to go to Splitsville
I got a full tank, let’s ride
And my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Splitsville
I know the way
And I’ll end up there one day in Splitsville
On a natural high
My, my, my, my, my, my, my
Be beautiful, never cry
Splitsville
You don’t need a name
Everybody there behaves the same
You’re not the only one who didn’t sleep last night
My, my, my, my, my, my, my
Feel a-okay, quite all right
Is there something you’ve got waiting
Something you want too much
Hurry up now, you’ll miss your bus
To Splitsville
And end up right back here
Just screaming
About Splitsville
Splitsville, Splitsville
Don’t dream of death
In the other world
There’s no diet bars and no pretty girls
No pusher man to fuck up your mind
My, my, my, my, my, my, my
You feel a-okay all the time
Something you’ve got waiting
Something you want too much
Hurry up now, you’ll miss your bus
To Splitsville
And end up right back here

haven't seen southlander yet, but i'm looking forward to it.
here's a youtube video of elliott as the bus driver at the end of "Southlander." Plus part of Splitzville during the credits. Yay!

On the topic of that youtube clip, in the very last frame, look at the very last name. I haven't seen Southlander, but now I really want to.
I think it's about always talking about something, yet never doing it. Or more specificity saying "I'm gonna split" but never going through with it.
