lyrics

Travel king you left your jokes downstairs
in the dirty file with last year's taxes
No, you can't pay for them til dawn
So far gone in a wretched well
That suits your style, and seals my jail cell
Take another look
you wrote the book
The friends I once considered soldiers
Look at me with one eye slanted
Now we know it's true
This city doesn't want you
And we don't really care, No!
This is what you wanted
So leave it if you dare
Just go!
Pack your bags, take the next train out
It's time....

We lost you.
Just a ghost above my fireplace
resting in an urn
And now it's my turn
Another day, another night
without your light

So pick up all your broken soldiers
and see if you can mend some fences
Now they know it's true
the city doesn't want you
the city doesn't care no more

Pack your bags, take the next train out
it's time to go

You lost me
Was it fiction, was it propaganda televised?
My plans have been revised.
