Lyrics
Town Without Pity
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.
When you're young and so in love as we
And bewildered by the world we see
Why do people hurt us so
Only those in love would know
What a Town Without Pity can do..
If we stop to gaze upon a star
People talk about how bad we are...
Ours is not an easy age
We're like tigers in a cage
What a Town Without Pity can do..
The young have problems Many problems
We need an understanding heart..
Why don't they help us, try to help us
Before this clay and granite planet falls apart...
Take these eager lips and hold me fast..
I'm afraid this kind of joy can't last
How can we keep love alive
How can anything survive
When these little minds tear you in two..
What a town Without Pity can do..
How can we keep love alive
How can anything survive
When these little minds tear you in two..
What a town Without Pity can do..
