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...
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...
