They say this town will kill you |
|
They say this town ain't got no soul |
|
This town could take a childs smile |
|
And turn it into stone |
|
But don't you think I know that |
|
This town has cut me to the bone |
|
Trouble crawling up your back |
|
Fear just eats your soul |
|
You say this town will eat you up |
|
You say this town ain't got no heart |
|
You try to learn all your lines |
|
And you try to play the part |
|
With all this double dealing |
|
I tell you brother you get smart |
|
Here in kickback city |
|
You're lost before you start |
|
People in subways look nearly half dazed to me |
|
Renting tomorrow investing in sorrow no belief |
|
Faces in sidestreets hiding like angels for grace |
|
Selling you sorrow renting tomorrow you're out of place |
|
They say this town will kill you |
|
They say this town ain't got no soul |
|
They'll set you up and pull the stitch |
|
Till you unravelled on the floor |
|
But I won't let it beat me |
|
Though trouble's knocking in my door |
|
Somehow it's just your smile |
|
That keeps me coming back for more |
|
Here in kickback city |
|
Feel I'm going down slow |
|
Here in kickback city |
|
Feel I'm going down slow |
