Wrong Side of Town

So tell me a story

About something pretty

A guardian angel

Up in the sky

And make me believe you

No hill for a climber

Ask me no questions

I'll tell you no lies

I'm hanging on

My mouth hanging open

World spinning faster

'Round and around

Hey, what's the matter?

You look unexpected

Like you took a right turn

On the wrong side of town

You with the light on

Looking so hopeful

You're just pretending

You know what you've done

Crying your heart out

But nobody's looking

It's not getting better

We're not having fun

I'm hanging on

My mouth hanging open

World spinning faster

'Round and around

Hey, what's the matter?

You look unexpected

Like you took a right turn

On the wrong side of town

Jesus was wrong

About all the sinners

We'd take a stump for

A sign of the time

But we're running for shelter

Like nobody's business

You don't even notice

The face of the sky

So many answers

Just loose talking whispers

Pick up some pieces

And gobble them down

Don't talk in words

So I won't understand you

Just hold up your fingers

And cry like a clown

I'm hanging on

My mouth hanging open

World spinning faster

'Round and around

Hey, what's the matter?

You look unexpected

Like you took a right turn

On the wrong side of town
