the same old loose lipped cannon

speaks for you today

alone without your talent

there’s not much to say



and all these arguements

are meaningless today

and the reasons why they’ve

vanished in the haze



(2*) calling downtown

no reasons do they owe you

tell me

how’d you think it came to be



(2*) calling downtown

how they come to love you

when you didn’t want to set

them free



we don’t forgive to know you

will you ever see

know reasons do we owe you

how’d it come to be



the leaves have lost their shadows

deep amongst the grey

i hope that you’ll be friendly

i heard someone say



(2*) it’s a stranger, calling downtown

the further away you get



its easy to start from the back of the line

where there’s no one to tell you you’re still behind

it’s a stranger the further away you get

and you never miss your friends

until you can’t relate to the people beside you

here today .

it’s a stranger the further away you get



calling downtown

calling downtown
