I COULD NEVER LEAVE THIS TOWN

Found myself in the lost and found, didn’t know which was up or down - I heard a sound
Knew where I was but I'd lost my way my head was spinning and the night was day
Had a drink took a walk had a smoke I felt unreal and I started to choke - o oh no
I started running and I don't know why something was coming and I feared for my life
Took a trip down to yesterday but everyone I knew had changed or they had - moved away
The city streets that I know so well filled with aliens from another world
I fell into that dream again the sun was bright and I didn't feel this pain me - your name
And you were there in market place dressed to kill with a grin on your face

And the people kept passing by
On every avenue down every street
It's like our footsteps click and meet
Hey do ya see why?
I COULD NEVER LEAVE THIS TOWN

I found a photograph the other day, taken before the digitals came to stay
Crammed into that photo booth three of us screamin cos we could not move
My teenage self staring back at me searching for something he could not see - no way
What's goin' on behind those eyes, not much I guess, but it made me cry
I took me back to those early days when we laughed and danced and we fought and played - hey hey
(we loved and scewed and we ran away the lines were drawn and you never strayed)
Sixteen skins chasin' our after our hides we hid up the alley where the homeless now reside
We laughed so hard when they passed us by, same place, strange faces, different times

And the river keeps rollin by
On every avenue down every street
It's like our footsteps click and meet
Hey do ya see why?
I COULD NEVER LEAVE THIS TOWN

In every bar or café I go into
You're hangin' out there like we used to do
The names have changed above the doors
But we were here before
I COULD NEVER LEAVE THIS TOWN

Whoa oh - no no no no
You know I'm never gonna let you down
I COULD NEVER LEAVE THIS TOWN
