Emeline Songtext
von Refestramus

They lit up the dark along Jackson Park On the First of May
"The future is here
The Midway Plaisance makes clear," all the people say
And I′m waiting for my Emma, who is staying on 63rd
I've waited all night
In the White City′s light -
But she hasn't been seen or heard
We took a ride on the Ferris Wheel
Then the Travelator took us down
To Eastern sounds on a glockenspiel
And Little Egypt in her necklace and gown
And I'm waiting for my Emma, who is staying on 63rd
And I′m looking for the reason She′s not been seen or heard
All I want to do
Is find my Emeline I've searched from 67th
Up to Fullerton and Racine
All that I can see
Is Emeline on her own. You know it isn′t safe
For a girl in the city alone
I decided to go
To 63rd and Lowe
To try to find Emeline
The landlord was there
He took away the air
And that's the last that I was heard or seen
And I′m waiting for my Emma
Who's been gone 100 years today
And I′m cursed to search Chicago until the world has passed away
