It's five o'clock

In the afternoon

Somebody's playing

A sixties tune on the radio



A lazy wind tumbles

Down the street

It shakes the dust up

With the summer heat

Where the people go...



In fancy town

Where nothing's real

They don't consider

What you feel



In fancy town

It's black & white

They close their minds

They say

Wrong is right



How long

Will your love

Hold on

To stay strong enough



In fancy town

The attitude

Could strip you bare

Like frozen food



A ship of fools

In a crazy choir

Is gonna take you home

And light your fire



In fancy town

Where nothing's real

They don't consider

What you feel



In fancy town

It's black & white

They close their minds

They say

Wrong is right



How long

Will your love

Hold on

To stay strong enough



A deck of cards

In perfect black

Like cold cement

On the pavement cracks

Where lovers steal

And beg for time

And doctors sign

On the dotted line...
