seanan mcguire - this is my town lyrics
[verse:]
we live in the sight of the mountain
we live in the shade of the tree
we trade today for tomorrow
placing bets on destiny…
[verse:]
we take our turns at the altar
we take our turns at the altar
we take our wages in sin
we take our wages in sin
we build our homes on the water
we build our homes on the water
then we wonder why the flood rolls in…
[pre-chorus:]
little streets and little houses
all of them the same
little boys and little girls
and not one of them will ever guess my name
[chorus:]
this is my town…
this is my town…
this is my town…
this is my town…
this is my town…
this is my town…
there’s nowhere else for me to go
[verse:]
we know the rules and the reasons
we choose which ones to obey
we close our eyes to the seasons
marking time as it slips away…
[verse:]
i walk these streets as a stranger
i walk these streets as a stranger
i live these lives like a thief
i live these lives like a thief
i run my hands down the surface
i run my hands down the surface…
dreaming of what’s underneath…
[pre-chorus:]
little lies and little choices
all of it’s a game
little hopes and little fears
and not one of you will ever guess my name
[chorus:]
this is my town…
this is my town…
this is my town…
this is my town…
this is my town…
this is my town…
there’s nowhere else for me to go
[bridge 1:]
oh, find a penny, pick it up, and
find a penny, pick it up, and
all day long you’ll have good luck
all day long you’ll have good luck
but the streets are bare
but the streets are bare
and my pockets are empty
and my pockets are empty
oh, pay the piper, pay your dues
pay the piper, pay your dues…
well i don’t have that much left to lose
’cause i’m all alone
all alone
and i think someone left me…
[bridge 2:]
oh, this is my town, where you get what you pay for
this is my town, this is my town
this is my town, where you own what you build
this is my town, this is my town
this is my town, in the hand of the forest
this is my town, this is my town…
where we worship god in the form of the hill…
[chorus/outro:]
and this is my town…
this is my town…
this is my town…
this is my town…
this is my town…
this is my town…
there’s nowhere else for me to…
this is my town…
this is my town…
this is my town…
this is my town…
this is my town…
this is my town…
there’s nowhere else for me…
nowhere else for me…
nowhere else for me to go……
