Lonely Town — текст песни (Stan Ridgway)

They all say that its a lonely town

They all say that its a lonely town



Wide open spacesccempty rooms

If the weather holds out, you can get there by noon

Shadows crawl on the highway line

Dont rush, youve got time





Pull into a donut shop

And get a cup of mud

Ask for directions from a plumber outside

He says "dont go there, bud"





Chorus:

cause they all say

That its a lonely town

And they all say

That its a drag

And they all know

Those people in a lonely town

All those people are

Lonely and mad







Now Ive got my foot on the gas

As Im crossin the midwest county line

And I think about those mosquitos on my windshield

How they dont give a damn about christmas-time





And as the passing trucks all flash their lights

Just as I top the hill

Ill remember two green eyes and some flowers

Dyin on a windowsill





Chorus:

They all say

That its a lonely town

And they all say

That its a drag

They all know

Those people in a lonely town

And all those people

Are lonely and mad

Theyre just lonely and mad

Out here in a lonely town
