Town

This town is old and cold and sick and sad It’s every dark lit street you’d never walk down willingly It’s every gas pump in the rain With drain pipes working slowly It’s every face that sags in knowing They will always be this way It’s every promise made to no one Of a better life some day It’s every desperate raffle, every bet, every gamble, every trade And It’s wishing on a star to take it far far away
