Burnt Out Town

歌詞

I was walkin' down the street the other day, when a woman stopped me She said, why is it you look so down in the mouth? And I told her: This is a burnt-out town It's full of dirty looks There's ashes on main street And the mayor is cooking the books Why, even my best friends are turning into crooks Yeah, this is a burnt-out town New emperor, same clothes They're dancing on glass ceilings While the filthy money flows Yes, and here I am, stealing gas with a garden hose This is a burnt-out town The city fathers have come to blows It's out of their realm of reality The truth's indecent when exposed Yeah, it's a burnt-out town It's going down but no one knows Yeah, it's a burnt-out town Ain't dead but getting close
