When the daylight weighs a tonne 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 [x2]
Big time breakdown Look how the stars come out Big time breakdown 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 And the pigtails in the bride I'm the still that carves the toes in your bottle I'm the lynch mob in the dark I'm the silk worm 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 [x2]
Big time breakdown Look how the stars come out Big time breakdown 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
This town's alright But it's not enough I'm looking for a quick exit Like a prisoner on the run [x2]
Big time breakdown Look how the stars come out Big time breakdown 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
