Bilingual
The cars leave their trails of hot and cold light
Inside my head
Like burned-in long exposure pictures
The wheels spin slowly backwards
Strobing in the amber light
And the rain comes down and washes my brain
But it don't get clean
This town, has turned me into what I have become
This town, dresses me up like a stranger
This town, performs in the window like the ultimate gift
This town, takes us down
I feel like I'm losing you to this town
We were saving our money for half of our lives
We were saving our dreams
We came to this place to make the chances real
In the big city
But I've been counting the days
I've been watching you change and I can feel it dying
The noise outside takes you in
And sounds like a lamb to a lion
And down there somewhere above the noise
The magazine girls and the big money boys
Move silently on their easy heels
They move silently on their greasy wheels
This town, has turned me into what I have become
This town, dresses you up like a stranger
This town, hangs around in the doorway and tells me I'm late
This town, takes us down, takes us down
I feel like I'm losing you to this town
The morning breaks and I watch you awake
And this town takes you down away from me again
