Anytown, America - Unmastered
Anytown, America is a lonely place
What's a poor boy to do
There's snow on the ground
And the skies are grey
Time's runnin' short
Can I marry you
I got a good view of the parking lot
With nothin' above my head
The air is still
But my heart is not
It seems to me all these trees are dead
How did we end up here
How do I get home
Face down in the gutter
Like a dog without a bone
The answer's coming to me
Like a light I never known
And I think it's time that I finally lose my mind
Railcar's sitting in an empty yard
The hobos can't be found
Their time has come
And their time has gone
While that whistle blows its mournful sound
Smokestack billows outside of town
But the jobs already left
It keeps on chuggin' but no one's around
It's clear to me all these dreams are dead
How did we end up here
How do we get home
Face down in the gutter
Like dogs without a bone
The answer's comin' to me
Like a light I never known
And I think we're losin' more than just our minds
Old man sittin' on an empty bench
Says more than what he knows
So just remember this my friends
Sometimes even fools grow old
And there was a time
When I was a boy
I remember bein' told
"Live for yourself, let the rest fall away
All that will be left is gold"
How did I end up here
How do I get home
Face down in the gutter
Like a dog without a bone
The answer's comin' to me
Like a light I never known
And I think it's time that I finally lose my mind
How did we end up here
How do we get home
Face down in the gutter
Like dogs without a bone
The answer's comin' to me
Like a light I never known
And I think we're losin' more than just our minds
Yeah, I think we're losin' more than just our minds
What's a poor boy to do
There's snow on the ground
And the skies are grey
Time's runnin' short
Can I marry you
I got a good view of the parking lot
With nothin' above my head
The air is still
But my heart is not
It seems to me all these trees are dead
How did we end up here
How do I get home
Face down in the gutter
Like a dog without a bone
The answer's coming to me
Like a light I never known
And I think it's time that I finally lose my mind
Railcar's sitting in an empty yard
The hobos can't be found
Their time has come
And their time has gone
While that whistle blows its mournful sound
Smokestack billows outside of town
But the jobs already left
It keeps on chuggin' but no one's around
It's clear to me all these dreams are dead
How did we end up here
How do we get home
Face down in the gutter
Like dogs without a bone
The answer's comin' to me
Like a light I never known
And I think we're losin' more than just our minds
Old man sittin' on an empty bench

Like a light I never known
And I think it's time that I finally lose my mind
How did we end up here
How do we get home
Face down in the gutter
Like dogs without a bone
The answer's comin' to me
Like a light I never known
And I think we're losin' more than just our minds
Yeah, I think we're losin' more than just our minds
