In My Town

Lyrics for In My Town

This place where I come from Is a tired little town Where happy people crawl In sunken hollow-eyed around Where laughter is number two And silence is a blast And happy folks speak only To the shadows that they cast Oh no no no Oh no no no Oh no no no The children, they dance to poetry Learn to hate themselves To be just like their parents Is to be very little else They're still asleep and two begins Another day the same again Another day the same again Another day the same When I fall down, my wealth forgets And destiny won't intervene I fell in time, I fell in time I think it's killing me Woke up yesterday Looked up my old friends from the war Turned around and came back They said look who's back for more "Where you going?" she said Though I never heard her Going to lose my mind
