Cold Town

This is the cold part of town
Where devils are bold
And soul lovers frown

This is the dark side of the city
Where dogs dare not bark
And hope dwells in self pity

This is the place where all the wretched go
Where passengers go out on a blaze
But always say it ain’t so

No, this is not you, this is not your scene
But all of this is new and vaguely obscene
Look at all the colors, look at all the light
Look how they swallow you, so shalllow
Forever out of sight

Follow the light, swallow the light
Nothing will ever shine so bright

So they’ll say and so you’ll hear
‘Til one day you watch it all disappear
For the light was an illusion, reality is black
The darkness consumed everything
And you will never have it back

But this is not you, this is not your scene
and all of this is new and vaguely obscene
Look at all the colors, look at all the light
Look how they swallow you, so shalllow
Forever out of sight

Follow the light, swallow the light
Nothing will ever shine so bright

Where’s the light? Fading, it’s fading
You’re caught between racing and pacing
You sway, but all you ever say
Is somebody’s always getting in your way
Somebody’s always getting in your way

This is the cold part of town
Where devils are bold
And soul lovers frown

This is the dark side of the city
Where dogs dare not bark
And hope dwells in self pity

This is the place where all the wretched go
Where passengers go out on a blaze
But always say it ain’t so

This is your home
Where you’re always surrounded
Feeling alone
