This Town, It Waits (Burn it to the Ground)

from Whaling Wails by Wailing Whales

/

lyrics

this town it waits
for someone to make
one small mistake, then it eats them up
one giant gulp
then you're really outta luck
alone down the manhole
and I'm tired of these crowds
and these white clouds
these skies no longer seem so blue
but you know who does?
everyone
at least all of those that I've seen

and I can't wait, to burn it down
when this town's burnt, it won't be found
and I've been dreaming of this day for so long

and the moths they wait
for some tender bait
they beat their wings, and they beat down the air
but it wasn't fair
the county fair was closed, no one could pay the fare
to cross the river on on a ferry boat
well then why did they build this moat?

and I can't wait, to burn it down
when this town's burnt, it won't be found
and I've been dreaming of this day for so long
and I can't wait, to burn it down
when this town's burnt, it will be underground
and I've been dreaming of this day for so long

and they take up all the air
hey well that's not fair
but nobody seems to care
well I think I'll take the stairs
and with all this talk they rise
higher up into the skies
while the dogs run wild on the ground
it's good cause they don't belong in the pound

and I can't wait, to burn it down
when this town's burnt, it won't be found
and I've been dreaming of this day for so long
and I can't wait, to burn it down
when this town's burnt, it will be underground
and I've been dreaming of this day for so long
