Dream Killing Town |
| Pre-war matador |
| save your broken bones |
| Golden rule, he’s such a fool |
| in the streets alone |
| Slow burn, taciturn |
| nothing left to say |
| Column five, sympathize |
| it’s easier that way |
| (1st chorus) |
| Just want to be a big boy |
| pushin' some Jim-jims around |
| but it’s hard to be a dreamer |
| in a dream killing town |
| Hard to be a dreamer |
| in a dream killing town |
| Good as dead, Sally said |
| I fear what she knows |
| Money spent, for reconnaissance |
| and blood’s upon her clothes |
| Child’s toy, soldier boy |
| playing with his gun |
| Uptown, missile clown |
| living on the run |
| (2nd chorus) |
| He just want to be a big boy |
| growing up too soon |
| Show you his gun |
| flash his knife in the sun |
| and dance to a rock and roll tune |
| (bridge) |
| Once tried, twice denied |
| Sally said she knew |
| Full sized polarized |
| is what she’s looking through |
| Switch blade, promenade |
| leather jacket war |
| Cliché, don’t runaway |
| Slipping out the back door |
| All night parasite |
| wake me up at noon |
| Copped himself an attitude |
| down at the Red Dog Saloon |
| Quick laid, masquerade |
| gets the young boy up tight |
| Low rent, Jack-a-Lent |
| says he’s gonna be all right |
