the same old loose lipped cannon

speaks for you today

alone without your talent

there�s not much to say



and all these arguements

are meaningless today

and the reasons why they�ve

vanished in the haze



(2*) calling downtown

no reasons do they owe you

tell me

how�d you think it came to be



(2*) calling downtown

how they come to love you

when you didn�t want to set

them free



we don�t forgive to know you

will you ever see

know reasons do we owe you

how�d it come to be



the leaves have lost their shadows

deep amongst the grey

i hope that you�ll be friendly

i heard someone say



(2*) it�s a stranger, calling downtown

the further away you get



its easy to start from the back of the line

where there�s no one to tell you you�re still behind

it�s a stranger the further away you get

and you never miss your friends

until you can�t relate to the people beside you

here today .

it�s a stranger the further away you get



calling downtown

calling downtown
