Back In 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.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Never really been alive before
I always lived in my head
And sometimes it was easier
Hungover and half dead
I'm back in town, why don't we go out?
Let the rats spin around our feet
The full Moon shines down on these dirty streets
Back in town, why don't we go out
To that ninth street diner?
And carry on slowly, torturing each other
'Cause it's always the same
I came for the pleasure, but I stayed
Yes, I stayed for the pain
It's lit up like a movie scene
That halogen glow
And if you get spat on, that's just your big city baptism
You're the star of the show
I'm back in town, why don't we go out
And never go to sleep?
Throw our dreams out, let them pile up on the streets
I thought that I was here with you
But it was always just an empty room
'Cause it's always the same
I came for the pleasure, but I stayed
Yes, I stayed for the pain
