| [00:00.61] |
In this town when it rains |
| [00:07.98] |
There are years that wash off towers and the trains |
| [00:15.49] |
And the splashing sounds like laughing |
| [00:22.55] |
As it rolls and it slides off the ceilings and the |
| [00:28.80] |
Sides |
| [00:30.17] |
Of the towers and the trains |
| [00:37.69] |
There's a blacklist A deep black malice |
| [00:44.90] |
Scars so deep they're taught to children |
| [00:49.41] |
That live with people 'till the grave |
| [00:52.59] |
Folks can't shake 'em twist or break 'em |
| [00:59.53] |
They find themselves condemned to burnout |
| [01:03.22] |
They rust and crack and then they turn out like |
| [01:07.09] |
The towers and the trains |
| [01:12.10] |
Nothing beats them downtown streets |
| [01:15.22] |
They can't keep a dream alive |
| [01:19.28] |
The women talking men hard-rocking |
| [01:22.97] |
How will I survive |
| [01:35.47] |
We got issues from all the misuse |
| [01:42.28] |
We got wasted youth and missing persons who've got |
| [01:47.10] |
Nothing left to do but age |
| [01:49.84] |
They sit on their porches lit by torches |
| [01:57.09] |
And if you listen in the stillness you ll hear them |
| [02:03.89] |
Singing about their illness: |
| [02:05.20] |
The towers and the trains |
| [02:09.82] |
Nothing beats them downtown streets |
| [02:13.07] |
They can't keep a dream alive |
| [02:16.76] |
The women talking men hard-rocking |
| [02:20.51] |
How will I survive |
| [03:17.98] |
In my town when it rains There are years that wash |
| [03:30.79] |
Off towers and the trains |
| [03:32.48] |
And the splashing sounds like laughing |
| [03:39.68] |
As it rolls and it slides off the ceilings and the |
| [03:45.74] |
Sides |
| [03:47.04] |
Of the towers and the trains |
| [03:54.67] |
Off the towers and the trains |
