Close your eyes

And go to sleep

From the howling howling

Over these streets

'Cause People stare

'Cause you're so mad

That wild wild spark

That innocent laugh



But baby that's this town

It won't happen next time

Yeah baby that's this town

Lovers on love downs

It's this town to be blamed



At the top of the block

There's a church

At the top of the tower

There's the clock

And it rings

And it sighs

'Cause there's no time

For all these lies



But baby that's this town

It won't happen next time

Baby that's this town

Lovers on love downs

It's this town to be blamed



Baby take a walk

Round to my house

Throw off these tired eyes and tears

And these frowns

Take that lane

So narrow and deep

And walk those regrets

That fill your sleep

You say your sleep is naked

And your dreams are clothed

But what about your footsteps

Who sees them go

Who lets you know

About these

Things who's gonna say

The things we think

So take your keys

And pack your bags

But leave your books

And leave your maps



'Cause baby that's this town

It won't happen next time

Yeah baby that's this town

It won't happen next time

Yeah baby that's this town

It won't happen next time

Sure baby that's this town

Lovers on love downs

It's this town to be blamed

It's this town to be blamed
