Good evening

Philadelphia

I can't believe what I just said

I got up again

Like a monkey

And I raged right through the set

We went outside

Into an autumn wind

Running scared from the crowd

Headed out for an all night cafe

Where the waitresses got off on singing loud

I`m just a small town noise

I`m just a

Small town noise

I`m just a small town noise

I`m just a

Small town noise

Easy does it

Washington D.C.

What a state you`re in

Looks like you`ve cracked

A hundred hallelujahs

Through

Fifty nights of sin

You get hungry for some leg over easy

Or packing someone`s pistol in the hood

It doesn`t mean

You`re not as fucking boring

As some dirty dark river that don`t move

I`m just the village voice

I`m just the

Village voice

I`m just the village voice

I`m just the

Village voice

I`m just the village voice

I found out that

I realise

I need you

More than you need me

I realise

I need you

More than you need me

Goodbye

Denver Colorado

Goodbye Portland Maine

So long

Baden Baden

So bad they named you once again

We`ll be breezing through the

Windy city

For the

Last time you`ll see

The only way the traffic`ll stop

Is if some angel flies down and touches me

I`m just the village voice

I`m just the

Village voice

I`m just the village voice

I`m just the

Village voice

I`m just the village voice

I found out that

I realise

I need you

More than you need me

I realise

I need you

More than you need me
