Leaving Town
Profiteering brand machines
Tears appearing at the seams
Stretching us and edging us
Beyond our means
At morning I'm distracted by
The thought of running far and wide
I'll leave this all behind
And I'll go out of sight
I'm leaving town
Covered in the rain
I'll work it out
With water in my eyes again
We stumble in the dark
Let's pick each other up
And start over
At night I think of nothing else
I pan across the sagging shelves
There's leaking from the ceiling
Of the home we built
But I'm dancing with a silhouette
And smoking my last cigarette
Tomorrow I'll be on my way
I'm outta here
I'm leaving town
Covered in the rain
I'll work it out
With water in my eyes again
We stumble in the dark
Let's pick each other up
And start over
So long, city
Your heaven reaching stock's about to fall
Herein lies a question for us all
Will our dreams forgive us if we stall
We've had our moment in the sun
We've seen the worst of everyone
We're snapping and collapsing
From the web we've spun
My mind awakes
The clock says four
I've got my case
Unlocked the door
I'll find a place
And contemplate the clouds no more
I'm leaving town
Covered in the rain
I'll work it out
With water in my eyes again
I'm leaving town
Covered in the rain
But I'll work it out
With water in my eyes again
With water in my eyes again
With water in my eyes again
There's water in my eyes again
Tears appearing at the seams
Stretching us and edging us
Beyond our means
At morning I'm distracted by
The thought of running far and wide
I'll leave this all behind
And I'll go out of sight
I'm leaving town
Covered in the rain
I'll work it out
With water in my eyes again
We stumble in the dark
Let's pick each other up
And start over
At night I think of nothing else
I pan across the sagging shelves
There's leaking from the ceiling
Of the home we built
But I'm dancing with a silhouette
And smoking my last cigarette
Tomorrow I'll be on my way
I'm outta here
I'm leaving town
Covered in the rain
I'll work it out
With water in my eyes again
We stumble in the dark
Let's pick each other up
And start over
So long, city
Your heaven reaching stock's about to fall
Herein lies a question for us all
Will our dreams forgive us if we stall
We've had our moment in the sun
We've seen the worst of everyone
We're snapping and collapsing
From the web we've spun
My mind awakes
The clock says four
I've got my case
Unlocked the door
I'll find a place
And contemplate the clouds no more
I'm leaving town
Covered in the rain
I'll work it out
With water in my eyes again
I'm leaving town
Covered in the rain
But I'll work it out
With water in my eyes again
With water in my eyes again
With water in my eyes again
There's water in my eyes again
