Heartsick Town

You don’t have to look while the world keeps changin’

You don’t have to look while your bones are agin’

Sentimental books and a paint by numbers

You don’t want to wake from the spell you’re under

Life will look good in a photograph

Picking up steam till you just can’t laugh

You don’t want to look, but the world keeps changing

Hanging up meat on the radio

Taking your seat for the picture show

You don’t want to look but your bones are agin’

It’s a constant heartsick town

You are young so don’t forget

The things that have not happened yet

Are what you dream of

Aimed and pointed at the sun

You fell in front of everyone

Like a wounded dove

Think of what you love

You don’t have to look but the storm keeps ragin’

You don’t have to look at the wars they’re wagin’

Sentimental books and a paint by numbers

You don’t want to wake from the spell you’re under

Life will look good in a photograph

Picking up steam till you just can’t laugh

You don’t want to look, but the world keeps changing

Hanging up meat on the radio

Taking your seat for the picture show

You don’t want to look but your bones are agin’

It’s a constant heartsick town
