Sleepy town, leaves have all turned brown
empty bottles out upon display
Faded signs sink into your mind
where all the preacher's daughters go to pray
Worn out clothes, broken store windows
talking to the ghosts that linger there
Constant fight, reincarnate plight
And it's just the kind of place you might appear
Out here things feel so unkind
Dreams caught up in powerlines
Well my heart beats fast
but the future moves so slow
so I guess I'll keep on moving down the road
Spinning wheel, tell another yarn
of the fallen world at better times gone by
Train whistle blow, doesn't even slow
for the factories left slumbering nearby
Out here things feel so unkind
Dreams caught up in powerlines
Well my heart beats fast
but the future moves so slow
so I guess I'll keep on moving down the road
