  • 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 Writer/s: ALEXANDER PAUL KAPRANOS HUNTLEY, NICHOLAS JOHN MCCARTHY, PAUL ROBERT THOMPSON, ROBERT HARDY

  • Emily from Abingdon, VaBest song on the album, I believe. Franz matured so much in the few months between their first and second album releases.
