Boomtown by Terry Scott Taylor Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1998

[Verse 1]
Skeletons are moving underground
There are angels on the sly
God is busy turning a big wheel
'Round and 'round

[Hook 1]
(La la la la la)
(La la la la la la)
(La la la la la)
(La la la la la la)

[Verse 2]
Camels trudge across the desert sand
With their humps of holy water
Looking for a home in the needle's eye
See them fly

[Chorus 1]
We don't cry in Boomtown
We go 'round (in Boomdown)
Live and die in Boomtown
'Round and 'round
[Hook 1]
(La la la la la)
(La la la la la la)
(La la la la la)
(La la la la la la)

[Verse 3]
High rises reflect a gleaming spire
It's another faithless Sunday
God's still busy turning the big wheel
'Round and 'round

[Chorus 2]
But we won't cry in Boomtown
'Round and 'round (in Boomtown)
Live and die in Boomtown
Up and down

[Bridge]
The fire fell here a long time ago
But the glory could not last
We still wear our veils to the dark afterglow
And pray for some shadow of the past
Or a star leading home
Above the Savings and Loan
[Verse 1]
Skeletons are moving underground
Ghosts and angels on the sly
God is busy turning the big wheel
'Round and 'round

[Hook 2]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Hook 1]
(Na na na na na)
(Na na na na na na)
(Na na na na na)
(Na na na na na na)

[Outro]
We won't cry in Boomtown
Live and die in Boomtown
(Camels trudge across the desert sand)
It's another faithless Sunday
(Looking for a home in the needle's eye)
We'll get by
