This Town Songtext / Lyric

Well hello my little train wreck

I am your worst fear

I'm a mortuary postcard

I'm a graveyard souvenir

And have I got your attention

Now put your hands where I can see them

Give me your heart and soul boy

Cos you aint gonna need them.






I've seen your sort before you know

The kind that likes to mess around

You think you're riding with the wind

You think you're dancing underground

And you think it is your birthright

To drink and take your fill

But for all your running honey

Well you've just been standing still

Now you aint gonna heaven

And you aint gonna hell

There's a place worse than either

From what I hear tell

You're gonna stay in this town this town this town

You're gonna stay in this town this town this town.



Well hello my little car crash

I am your only hope

I'll be your silver bullet

I'll be your knotted rope

Cos I hate to see you suffer

Unless you suffer right

I almost wanna show you mercy

But not quite.



So calling all you angels

Calling all you devils too

Well this poor excuse for living's

Just not good enough for you

Now you aint gonna heaven

And you aint gonna hell

There's a place worse than either

From what I hear tell

You're gonna stay in this town this town this town

You're gonna stay in this town this town this town

Oh you're gonna stay in this town this town this town

Yeah you're gonna stay in this town.



Well I can tell what you are thinking

That one day you'll make amends

But the creeping hands of static

Are gonna get you in the end

And soon you'll be a memory

Of a shadow of a lie

You'll be a cautionary tale

Oh the boy who couldn't fly.



And you're gonna stay in this town this town this town

Said you're gonna stay in this town this town this town

Yeah you're gonna stay in this town this town this town this town

You're gonna stay in this town.
