the same old loose lipped cannon

speaks for you today

alone without your talent

theres not much to say



and all these arguements

are meaningless today

and the reasons why theyve

vanished in the haze



(2*) calling downtown

no reasons do they owe you

tell me

howd you think it came to be



(2*) calling downtown

how they come to love you

when you didnt want to set

them free



we dont forgive to know you

will you ever see

know reasons do we owe you

howd it come to be



the leaves have lost their shadows

deep amongst the grey

i hope that youll be friendly

i heard someone say



(2*) its a stranger, calling downtown

the further away you get



its easy to start from the back of the line

where theres no one to tell you youre still behind

its a stranger the further away you get

and you never miss your friends

until you cant relate to the people beside you

here today .

its a stranger the further away you get



calling downtown

calling downtown
