This Town ain't Big Enough for Both of Us
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.
Zoo time is she and you time
The mammals are your favorite type and you want her tonight
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
You hear the thunder of stampeding rhinos, elephants and tacky tigers
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
But it ain't me who's gonna leave
Flying, domestic flying
And when the stewardess is near, don't you show any fear
Heartbeat, increasign heartbeat
You are a khaki-colored bombardier
It's Hiroshima that you're nearing
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
But it ain't me who's gonna leave
Daily, except for Sunday
You dawdle into the cafe, where she meets you each day
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
As twenty cannibals have hold of you, they need their protein just like you
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
But it ain't me who's gonna leave
Shower, another shower
You've got to look the best for her and be clean everywhere
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
The rain is pouring on the foreign town, the bullets cannot cut you down
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
But it ain't me who's gonna leave
Census, the latest census
There'll be more girls who live in town, though not enough to go around
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
You know that this town isn't big enough, not big enough
For the both of us
This town isn't big enough, not big enough for the both of us
And I ain't gonna leave
