about

Lovely lyric by Ken Jason. Music inspired by Paul Simon.

lyrics

Living every day with storm clouds in my head
Darkness fills the sky above the living dead
This town is a dive with every corner bar
Drink yourself to sleep and forget who you are

CHORUS: Still I linger ‘round in this tavern town
Still the sun goes down upon this tavern town
It was just another day
With nothing’ good to say
And the light fades away from tavern town

People meet in bars, there’s nowhere else to go
Maybe find someone you don’t really want to know
This town is a bore with every living breath
Drink another draft, and laugh yourself to death

CHORUS:

People go to work, make their daily wage
At night they watch TV, hide their silent rage
This town is a bomb ready to explode
The barrooms heed the call down every lonely road
