Lyrics
We Shall Go To Town
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
No more delight or crawling around
Whisper the word and hold my hand
Never forget those who refuse you
Never forget who you've been
And you will fight with demons
When we shall go to town
And we'll eat between the rich men
And we'll dream, if we don't go down
Follow the light, stay on the outside
The only way in is swollen with tears
Don't bring your things, just let me serve you
Only the fool turns around
Then you will fight with demons
When we shall go to town
And you will wear your best shoes
And we'll dance, if we don't go down
And we'll dance, if we don't go down
