It's a simple town; with a lonely sound There's demons in the trees Come and rescue me It's a simple town; where the face becomes a veil Where the eyes become a jail; For the settlers minds to pale It's just a simple town Where the secrets drown Before they get around But tonight they have been found
With the words come shatter out your mouth You made a thundercloud come and rain on me Under a simple sky in a simple town You made a knife of sound, cut the air for me Cut the secrets free
It's a simple town, just a simple town But that simple choked The life right out of me Cause simple things Aren't so simple anymore Death is easy to ignore When it's numbers on a screen And that simple town It likes a simple war; chooses red or blue The rest can be ignored While the secrets wait; on tortured lips Till they're moved to sing; with the passion of a kiss
