Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's a borrowed town
It's a hand-me-down
It wears its sky
Like a dirty crown
It takes and gives
Oh, it dies then lives
This place doesn't hurt, ooh
But you do
It's passing through
It's the old and new
It loves you all
The many and the few
It goes underground
It goes 'round and 'round
This place doesn't hurt, ooh
But you do
[Chorus]
Come on and save me from this
Give me your village to live
Give me your rivers of bliss
Come on and save me from this
[Verse 2]
It's a human machine
A dystopian dream
A harvest of blight
Where the bugs all bite
It's a matter of fact
That your life's been hacked
Oh, this place doesn't hurt, ooh
But you do
[Chorus]
Come on and save me from this
Give me your village to live
Give me your rivers of bliss
Come on and save me from this
[Verse 3]
It's a borrowed town
It's a lost and found
It's a complex fugue
A mighty tune, an intensive sound
It's a word from the kind
And it's a hand to the blind
This place doesn't hurt, ooh
Oh, this place doesn't hurt
No, this place doesn't hurt
But you do
[Instrumental]
Give me your village to live
Give me your rivers of bliss
Give me your village to live
Give me your rivers of bliss
Give me your village to live
Give me your rivers of bliss
Give me your village to live
Give me your rivers of bliss
Ooh
Ooh
Come on and save me from this
Come on and save me from this
Give me your village to live
Come on and save me
Come on and save me from this
Come on and save me from this
Give me your rivers of bliss
Come on and save me
