This Dark Town by Moonwalker Lyrics
You started playing on the wrong team
While we were playing a different game
You started pulling on the wrong strings
And you can pull till the levy breaks
Or spend a lifetime
Trying to heal the pain, until the moment you fade away
And then your back breaks
Underneath the weight, and your moment just slips away
Storm chaser, come back around
Stargazer, never to be found
We had to duck down
Avoiding sure despair, while you were going over our heads
We turn the lights out
Cause it's a dark, dark town and we can sleep till we all drop dead
We burn our minds out
Trying to fix mistakes, so we can drown out the bitter taste
We lay our guns down
Try to settle the stakes, cause we're all going down in flames
Storm chaser, come back around
Risk-taker, never going down
Stargazer, never to be found
There were no stars
When the earth went black
It was such a dark, dark day
And such a cold, cold night
But in this dark town
We thought we saw a sign
And it looked like
No building shelter
Just building fences
Start burning bridges and arming your defenses
More private prisons
Cancel the pensions
Exploit the tension
Ain't no need to question why this dark town didn't have a light
Bring it on
Alright
And they tell you
Pay no attention
Harbor resentment
For everyone who don't look just like you do
Communication don't mend a differece
Your civic duty is never, ever listen
This dark town ain't got no stars
Stargazer, ah
While we were playing a different game
You started pulling on the wrong strings
And you can pull till the levy breaks
Or spend a lifetime
Trying to heal the pain, until the moment you fade away
And then your back breaks
Underneath the weight, and your moment just slips away
Storm chaser, come back around
Stargazer, never to be found
We had to duck down
Avoiding sure despair, while you were going over our heads
We turn the lights out
Cause it's a dark, dark town and we can sleep till we all drop dead
We burn our minds out
Trying to fix mistakes, so we can drown out the bitter taste
We lay our guns down
Try to settle the stakes, cause we're all going down in flames
Storm chaser, come back around
Risk-taker, never going down
Stargazer, never to be found
There were no stars
When the earth went black
It was such a dark, dark day
And such a cold, cold night
But in this dark town
We thought we saw a sign
And it looked like
No building shelter
Just building fences
Start burning bridges and arming your defenses
More private prisons
Cancel the pensions
Exploit the tension
Ain't no need to question why this dark town didn't have a light
Bring it on
Alright
And they tell you
Pay no attention
Harbor resentment
For everyone who don't look just like you do
Communication don't mend a differece
Your civic duty is never, ever listen
This dark town ain't got no stars
Stargazer, ah
