Down on Town / Love’s No Answer

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Complication of a primordial soul, riddles on the wire Well, I know a mother with her whole house on fire Disfiguration of an inner face Take a look, old French lace I live in a town with way too much going down [Chorus] I live in a town with way too much going down Down on town [Verse 2] Got a situation of a dog on the loose, a porch light on a dark night Why cause a scene at the door when the window will do? Aggravating circumstances alight A stark blue love on a dark black night The bed and bodies are a mess, which the neighbors will attest [Chorus] I live in a town with way too much going down I live in a town with way too much going down Down on town [Verse 3] Endless sirens bore through the alleyways In between bricks of thunder and clear yellow haze You can stay up to dawn just to figure it out Or you can take anything cheap to knock yourself out [Chorus] I live in a town with way too much going down Down on town All the way down [Verse 4] Thunder and lightning, another unidentified sighting All this and more while the guitar lies face down on the floor Saturated city with blood in her eye Ice flowing in veins and all kinds of things downtown [Bridge] 'Cause when they go [?], I hear the talk Well I was thinking right here and now Only the greatest of liars know exactly where they stand [Verse 5] And everybody wants to be in love Gets their mind off what they been thinking of Everybody needs to be swept away for a while Look out when a heartbreak comes along with a smile [Outro] Love is no answer to anything Just maybe to war and hell and all the trouble we bring Love is no answer to anything Just maybe to war and hell and all the trouble we bring Love is no answer to anything Just maybe to war and hell and all the trouble we bring Love is no answer to anything Just maybe to war and hell and all the trouble we bring We bring ourselves, I say to my self
