lyrics
The house paint’s peeling like a sunburnt back
All the trees are bleeding through the sidewalk cracks
They’re growing for the sunrise, robin’s-breast red
When you leave this town
Don’t leave this town for dead
Young boys born with warrior’s spines
You see ‘em always reaching for the power lines
Do the wires really bite like mama said?
When you leave this town
Don’t leave this town for dead
Mundane streets with mundane names
Mundane mobs playing mundane games
You want a parking garage pony and buttered up bread
When you leave this town
Don’t leave this town for dead
So leave your innocence, leave our dust
Go feed your burning wanderlust
We’ll keep a pillow fluffed up for your weary head
When you leave this town
Don’t leave this town for dead
