lyrics

Lyrics:
I really love this town. I really love this town. It’s got gardens and sidewalks and gas lamps for night walks. I really love this town. I really love this town. It’s got park and trees and a warm summer breeze. You said we’d leave. Yeah, you promised we’d leave.

And “One Day” - it got away - a runway - to today. Hooray, hooray, hooray, hooray!

I really love this town. I really love this town. But the air here is heavy; the silence is steady. I really love this town. I really love this town. But I wake up and can’t breathe; I dream that I’m drowning. You said we’d leave. Yeah, you promised we’d leave.

And shopping lists - and shopping malls - framed photographs – yeah, they line these halls. Hooray, hooray, hooray, hooray!

And on windless nights
When the kids are asleep
And you’re watching TV
I take my glass of wine
To the black, back deck
And count backwards from three … two … one.
