I'm beginning to hear voices (And there’s no one around)
I'm beginning to hear voices and there's no one around Well, I'm all used up and the fields have turned brown I went to church on Sunday and she passed by My love for her is taking such a long time to die
I'm waist deep, waist deep in the mist It's almost like, almost like I don't exist I'm twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
The walls of pride are high and wide Can't see over to the other side It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay It's sadder still to feel your heart torn away
One look at you and I'm out of control Like the universe has swallowed me whole I'm twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
There's too many people, too many to recall I thought some of 'em were friends of mine, I was wrong about 'em all Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
I found my world, found my world in you But your love just hasn't proved true I'm twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound Twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
Oh, the winds in Chicago have torn me to shreds Reality has always had too many heads Some things last longer than you think they will Some kind of things you can never kill
'Cause it's you and you only I been thinking about But you can't see in and it's hard lookin' out I'm twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
Well, the fats in the fire and the water's in the tank Well, the whiskey's in the jar and the money's in the bank I tried to love and protect you because I cared I'm gonna remember forever the joy that we shared
Looking at you and I'm on my bended knee You have no idea what you do to me I'm twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound Twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound.
