L like to know that this town is cold While it keeps me full and strong Sleek with pride and growing hope Yet still and weak as a frail, old pope I like to know that there's nothing I need When there's no one left in this town Whose mouth is dry And whose belly is full When there's no one left around Trampled by this pounding steed Finished off by word and deed Trampled by this youthful need Broken down by word and deed There is no one else around There is not a soul in this town Where days are short And nights are strong While I've been cheating all along I like to know that there's nothing I need When there's no one left in this town Whose mouth is dry And whose belly is full When there's no one left around Trampled by this pounding steed Finished off by word and deed Trampled by this youthful need Broken down by word and deed That'is why this town is old That's why this town is cold That's why this town has crime Why I've been cheating all the time I like to know that there's nothing I need When there's no one left in this town Where days are short And nights are strong And I've been cheating all along.
