Greytown

There’s a chalk outline
Where my body hit the ground
But I can still be found
In all the bad parts of town
When I’m doing my Westdene rounds

Winner, winner chicken dinner
My wallet grows smaller
And my hairline thinner
And I watch my body grow old in the shadow of your touch
You know that they call this Greytown

Well, it’s a lonely affair
(Lonely never meant free)
It ain’t halved when it’s shared

It’s not like you were there
(Lonely never meant free)
Oh, it’s a lonely affair

When you come home
I’m gonna tear your shadow down
I said, when you come home
I’m gonna tear you apart

Said, I’m gonna tear you apart

My dumpster diving darling
I watch you strung out
Ignore all the warnings
Oh, a penny for your thoughts
Street light, street thought
Dim light, then off

Bleached in black and grey
You say that you’re leaving
But you always stay
Oh, you gonna run, run away
You know that they call this Greytown

Well, it’s a lonely affair
(Lonely never meant free)
It ain’t halved when it’s shared

It’s not like you were there
(Lonely never meant free)
Well it’s a lonely affair

When you come home
I’m gonna tear your shadow down
I said, when you come home
I’m gonna tear you apart

Never gonna go back again
Never go, never go
Never gonna go back again
Never go, never go
Never gonna go back again
Never go, never go
Never gonna go back again
Never go, never go
