The trees are growing green
The rain is falling down
No one will ever admit it
But you never will leave this town
The sunshine has turned into streetlights
The streetlights are stuck in the ground
Smoke drifts in soft from the kitchen
You’re going to die in this town
And the ghosts on the other side reach out their hands for you
But they never will be your friend my dear
They’re always 6 feet from you
Perpetually lost in the gloom
The sidewalk is cracking apart
The pavement is splitting in two
The crows and hawks are fighting
My memory is battling you
This town is pulsing peculiar
Perception makes such a sound
Your life is rolling over
But you never will leave this town
And the ghosts on the other side reach out their hands for you
But they never will be your friend my dear
They’re always 6 feet from you
Perpetually lost in the gloom
