Close your eyes and go to sleep
From the howling, howling over these streets
'Cause people stare, 'cause you're so mad
That wild, wild spark, that innocent laugh

But baby, that's this town
It won't happen next time
Yeah, baby that's this town
Lovers on love downs
It's this town to be blamed

At the top of the block there's a church
At the top of the tower there's a clock
And it rings and it sighs
'Cause there's no time for all these lies

But baby, that's this town
It won't happen next time
Baby, that's this town
Lovers on love downs
It's this town to be blamed

Baby, take a walk round to my house
Throw off these tired eyes and tears and these frowns
Take that lane so down and deep
And walk those regrets that fill your sleep

You say your sleep is naked but your dreams are clothed
What about your footsteps, who sees them go?
Who lets you know about these things?

Who's gonna say the things we think?
So take your keys and pack your bags
But leave your books and leave your maps

'Cause baby that's this town
It won't happen next time
Yeah baby, that's this town
It won't happen next time

Yeah baby, that's this town
It won't happen next time
Sure baby that's this town
Lovers on love downs
It's this town to be blamed
It's this town to be blamed

Work, work, work
Rain, rain, rain
Home, home, home
Again, again, again

Work, work, work
And a rain, rain, rain
Home, home, home
Again, again, again

Work, work, work
Rain, rain, rain
Home, home, home
Again, again, again

It's work, work, work
And the, rain, rain, rain
And home, home, home
Again, again, again

It's work, work, work
And the rain, rain, rain
Your home, home, home
Again, again, again

It's, work, work, work
Rain, rain, rain
Home, home, home
Again, again, again

Work, work, work
And the rain, rain, rain
Your home, home, home
Again, again, again
