Twenty-Five Forty-One - Marshall Crenshaw

Jenny gave us a number

Jenny gave us a place to stay

Billy got hold of a van

and then we moved the very next day

To twenty-five forty-one, big windows to lay in the sun

Twenty-five forty-one, big windows to lay in the sun

We put down the money

Then we picked up the keys

We had to keep the stove on all night long so the mice wouldn’t freeze

I put our names on the mailbox

and I put everything else in the past

It was the first place we’d ever had to ourselves

I didn’t know it would be the last

Twenty-five forty-one, big windows to lay in the sun

Twenty-five forty-one, big windows to lay in the sun

Now everything is over

Everything is done

Everything’s in boxes now

at twenty-five forty-one

Things are so much different now

You could say the situation’s reversed

And it will not be the last time I’ll have to be out by the first

Twenty-five forty-one, big windows to lay in the sun

Twenty-five forty-one, big windows to lay in the sun

Twenty-five forty-one…
