lyrics

New Town

People come and gather by the Neon Café / Everybody coming round with something to sell // I lay in the dark listening to Neutral Milk Hotel / They were a good band, in the end / It’s night and I been thinkin’ about things I did in the past / & some other shit that I just said / & I’m remembering Johnny, I can even see him, cigarrete in hand / Saying “there’s a time to do and then one to regret” / & the halo of smoke still floats there / New room // Children don’t play round here no more, it’s quiet / They are now somewhere else, being taught how to kill / And for a moment, baby, I wish I could see your ghost / Floating down Elizabeth Street and waiting for me at the store / But what can we expect from / The blind leading the blind / To the grand final all ages black mass / Under a giant facebook sign? / Old town / New town / Old town /New town // With all your bright lights and your walmarts /And your old farts who think they play it cool / Covered in tons of seaweed and dry sperm / & Well fed with evening news… / Oh, They will track you down / Yeah, they will track you down / They’re always looking for the right branch / To hang each and every fool / & they found you / Old town / New town /Old town /New town // People come and gather by the Neon Café / Everybody coming round with something to sell // Your father worked and died here, and that makes you proud / You will always be my friend but you never were that bright / And your mother got married on that old church down the lane / But she was already dead by then and then she went insane / And your sister ran away & she lives in the world somewhere / Nobody can even imagine all the fun she’s missing out there / Yeah, your sister ran away… / Old town / New town /Old town / New town // So I was thinking about Johnny & the way he died / After licking life right to the bone from his midnight bowl of rice / And I know there’s no mercy in such a place / For a kind but troubled mind / The fuck they give is all the fuck you’ll get / Under this paper moon that never sets / Old town / Old town / New town / New town/ Old town / Oh there is no town at all / Old town / No town.
