In this town, that's the way-ay-ay-aaaaay it goes.
Say seven words for the sailors Over out on the sea But there ain't no saint just for killers No mama's going to pray for me
Well I was blown here by the wind To a rusty city left unnamed The dusty singing cowboy died here He's still doing tombstone things. ???
And he knew how hard it was to cry This evil darling, this deep blue sky To be the rain in a dying man's eye Cry for water and you get no reply Beg for mercy and laughter fills the sky
Dog Town (Owwww-woo!) Morning/Mourning, she cries. running in your eyes
Dog Town (Owwww-woo!) There's no fruit from acid rain Go see if the coffin kid has a lid that bears your name
In this town, that's the way-ay-ay-aaaaay it goes.
You've heard of lamp-lit haciendas With wide-eyed/twilight (?) girls who harmonize/haunt the night (?) But the senoritas you've befriended Cut the stars all out of the mirrors of their eyes/ ???
Chica/She sent seven shotgun shells Into the netherworld of Hell She slaughtered 95 white chickens So you can never break the spell Follow her down boy And you're bound to die
Down in canyons Beyond the blind people's eye She'll leave your bones Down in the hunting/haunted ground
Those Cherokee(?) long/war dead Got in your soul Dead like a rock Nevermore to roam
Dog Town (Owwww-woo!) Morning/Mourning, she cries. Barrels from the shotgun blaze right between your eyes
Dog Town (Owwww-woo!) There's no fruit from acid rain Go see if the coffin kid has a lid that bears your name
Dog Town (Owwww-woo!) Morning/Mourning, she cries. Barrels from the shotgun blaze/bled(?) right between your eyes Bad dreams boys of my last night's Dog Town fight Go see if the coffin kid has a box to fit/fill your size.
In this town, that's the way-ay-ay-aaaaay it goes.
