Dirty Town (from "Walk on Air" single)

Love and desperation
Dreams upon the ground
Makes a little difference to the people all around
Each and every one of us just hoping to be found
You could say that another day won't turn the world to a better place
I want to hear somebody say there's an explanation for all of this decay
Bombs upon the babies and sleeping on the streets
No place for the wicked this ain't no place for the sweet
It's a different world when the sun goes down
Keeps the devil on the run
Is a promise gonna come to a...

Dirty town
Such a dirty old town

Looking for a reason can wear a person down
Tear yourself to pieces trying to work the problem out
Some of us have plenty same have none at all
Give a guy your every dime
There'd be an even longer line
Tell me again I want to hear you say
Someone has an answer for everybody's pain
Where's the resurrection? Will we rise above the shame?
Death and deprivation waiting in the dark to shake a claim
A different world when the sun goes down
Keeps the devil on the run
Is a promise gonna come to a...

Dirty town
Such a dirty old town
It's only wanna kick you
What a dirty town

Oh what a different world with the sun going down

Such a different world when the sun goes down
Is the devil on the run?
Is a promise gonna come to a...

Dirty town
What a dirty old town
Only wanna kick you right back down, what a dirty town
When are we going to learn just to leave it alone?
Dirty town
When are we going to learn just to leave it alone?
Dirty, dirty town
When are we going to learn just to leave it alone?
Dirty, dirty, dirty town
When are we going to learn just to leave it alone?
What a dirty town
