In a Razor Town

In a razor town You take whoever you think you can keep around There's an echoed sound That permeates the sidewalk where she shuffles 'round It's a big machine It used to be the avenue of changing dreams She's a lonely thing Sweeping up the glitter while she pulls the strings Take a long last look Before she turns to stone What the last man took And what was long, long gone The way it used to be I wasn't there to see it working properly Now it seems to me The both of you are suffering You know I've heard her say That you're the only reason she's alive today I just turned away Thinking maybe she was right So say your last goodbye Make it short and sweet There ain't no way to fly With her hanging on your feet Let her go out if she wants to If she don't, go out yourself Don't take sorry for an answer Unless you really want what's left 'Cause in a razor town The only thing that matters tends to bring you down There's no way around But maybe you can barrel through 'Cause a razor ain't no good for you
