When the daylight weighs a tone And all my friends are gone, There’s rust around the things I love. When it’s fraying at the seams Of reality and dreams, All those dreams are quiet and dull.
This town’s alright, but it’s not enough, I’m looking for a quick exit Like a prisoner on the run. This town’s alright, but it’s not enough, I’m looking for a quick exit Like a prisoner on the run.
Big town break down, look how the stars come out Big town break down, why didn’t you just shout, I’m lonely and I’m looking for a place to go, Where everything’s an embrace and everybody wants to know.
I’m your absent Valentine, I’m the pigtails in the bride, I’m the still that calms the toes in your bathtub. I’m the lynch mob in the dark, I’m the silkworm in your heart, Spinning out my perfect circle.
This town’s alright, but it’s not enough, I’m looking for a quick exit Like a prisoner on the run. This town’s alright, but it’s not enough, I’m looking for a quick exit Like a prisoner on the run.
Big town break down, look how the stars come out Big town break down, why didn’t you just shout, I’m lonely and I’m looking for a place to go, Where everything’s an embrace and everybody wants to know.
I’m on the water, fetch your brother, fetch your daughter. Come come undone, fetch your sister, fetch your son. I’m on the water, fetch your brother, fetch your daughter. (This town’s alright, but it’s not enough, Come come undone, fetch your sister, fetch your son. (I’m looking for a quick exit Like a prisoner on the run) I’m on the water, fetch your brother, fetch your daughter. (This town’s alright, but it’s not enough, Come come undone, fetch your sister, fetch your son. (I’m looking for a quick exit Like a prisoner on the run)
Big town break down, look how the stars come out Big town break down, why didn’t you just shout, I’m lonely and I’m looking for a place to go, Where everything’s an embrace and everybody wants to know. (x2)
