Lyrics

said this was our town
the joke it was on us
Said this was our town
we were just passin thru'
The joke it was on us
on the way to givin' up
We were just passin thru'
joked this was our town
On the way to givin' up
that someday we'd be thrilled
Joked this was our town
by anything we loved
That someday we'd be thrilled
and everything we killed
By anything we loved
but the biggest risk we'll ever take
And everything we killed
will be to stay here in one place
But the biggest risk we'll ever take
swearin' gold is struck
Will be to stay here in one place
on the way to givin' up
Swearin' gold is struck
I try not to forget
On the way to givin' up
how close we came to it
I try not to forget
ooh -- Immaculate ... ooh -- Immaculate ...
How close we came to it
ain't we strange enough
Ooh -- immaculate ... ooh -- immaculate ...
that we don't have to prove
Ain't we strange enough
we know how to last
That we don't have to prove
and we know how to lose
We know how to last
gonna chase it down
And we know how to lose
find the truth in store
Gonna chase it down
were we better off
Find the truth in store
just one stop before?
Were we better off
will there be a run of days,
Just one stop before?
when sittin' pretty will make sense?
Will there be a run of days,
when somethin' like a prayer,
When sittin' pretty will make sense?
up and pays the rent?
When somethin' like a prayer,
I try not to forget
Up and pays the rent?
how close we came to it
I try not to forget
ooh -- Immaculate ... ooh -- Immaculate ...
How close we came to it
you're the fever that I dream
Ooh -- immaculate ... ooh -- immaculate ...
the only dream I dream awake
You're the fever that i dream
a dream the mornin' cannot shake
The only dream i dream awake
you're the fever that I dream
A dream the mornin' cannot shake
the only dream I dream awake
You're the fever that i dream
a dream the mornin' cannot shake (the fever that I dream)
The only dream i dream awake
ooh -- Immaculate ... ooh -- Immaculate ...
A dream the mornin' cannot shake (the fever that i dream)
ooh -- Immaculate ... ooh -- Immaculate ...
Ooh -- immaculate ... ooh -- immaculate ...
Ooh -- immaculate ... ooh -- immaculate ...
