hometown

All fares well In my hometown Zoom out like I'm watching it from a TV screen Don't wanna have this world between us Mess in my eye Blood on my skirt Don't wanna be afraid, nor be on my way We all have that same look in our eyes For some of us it never dies Sun is hot And the air is thick I'm waiting at the corner of Clark and Saint-Zotique For someone that'll help me get out of here Like that's where I'd rather be than just standing here You'd be hard-pressed to leave this place behind Now that things ain't so bad here anymore You'd be hard-pressed to leave this place behind Walk around In my evening dress Street lamps glimmering very suspiciously And someone is calling my name, from the backseat of the cab And all fares well In my hometown Where everything is different but nothing has changed You see us go by like you're riding a train and the feeling is gone but you stay just the same Pack up, move up, come back without saying "I can no longer stick around In my hometown" Pack up, move up, come back saying "I was always something bringing me down In my hometown" You'd be hard-pressed to leave this place behind Now that things ain't so bad here anymore You'd be hard-pressed to leave this place behind Now that things ain't so bad here anymore Tough love, kid That's what I say to me That's what I say to me Tough love, kid That's what I say to me Tough love, kid Tough love, kid That's what I say to me Tough love, kid Tough love, kid That's what I say to me Tough love, kid
