Lyrics

Pen me in, write me down
If this was a circus, I'd be the clown
Led on the tarmac, ready to rot
I'm tired of pretending I'm something I'm not
Walking my dog down the black and white street
Do the same route everyday, every week
I meet the same people, I smile profusely
They still look at me like I'm the enemy
Would it be better if I dyed all my clothes
A medium grey so they wouldn't oppose
And faded away to the dark, to the background
Giving you nothing to ever worry about?
If I move away to the city
Then finally you might have a chance to hear me
I know it's awfully loud
But I'm drowning in silence in this small town
If I move away to the city
Then finally you might have a chance to hear me
I know it's awfully loud
But I'm drowning in silence in this small town
A place this dim you wear a bright colour
And it's the talk of the town for the rest of the summer
It's hard to ever go against the grain
It'll get back to my mum in a gossiping train
And we keep it on lockdown, the lies the secrets
The controversies, the thought of leaving
So you wanna raise your family in semi-detached housing
I couldn't think of anything less arousing
I wanna live in a place where the dreams are big
Where everyone's so different you don't have to fit in
And look to the future with rose-tinted glasses
That I wear 'cause I like them not because they're in fashion
If I move away to the city
Then finally you might have a chance to hear me
I know it's awfully loud
But I'm drowning in silence in this small town
If I move away to the city
Then finally you might have a chance to hear me
I know it's awfully loud
But I'm drowning in silence in this small town
This small town
This small town
Ooo
Will I ever get out?
