Newtown Songtext
von Black Cat Bones

Way out where the lightning strikes
Way across the bridge
Some folks get hammered down
And bow to the machine
Some folks can blaze like me
Straight across the sky
But some folks
They don′t wanna get by

Way down in New Town
Where the devil makes his bed
All is fair in love and war
But you turn your back instead
You wonder why the greatest lie
Is comfortable at least
You're hiding in the alleys
With the bravest of beasts

Hiding in the alleys
With the bravest of beasts


Sonny don′t lie to me
Don't you bow your head and cry
Sonny don't lie to me
I can see it in your eyes
Some folks get lost out here
Some folks drink until they die
Sonny don′t lie to me
Sonny say
Sonny say goodbye

Way down in New Town
Where the souls have left the dead
Somewhere a beggar′s song
Is stuck inside your head
Gather then the bravest men
To walk upon the wire
Call up all the angels
That they sing in your choir

Sonny don't lie to me
Don′t you bow your head and cry
Sonny don't lie to me
I can see it in your eyes
Some folks get lost out here
Some folks drink until they die
Sonny don′t lie to me
Sonny say
Sonny say goodbye


Wide awake the drug lord
Takes his profits to his den
Stealing all the words
Before they flow from your pen
