Whitetown

[Verse 1] Mary Ann on the avenue girl all dressed up in kinsington blue Down where the hammer falls she’s gonna break within Whitetown walls Each and everything slowly passes away she moves along narrow streets From a passing car she hears the music playin’ ’neath the L she starts to sway [Chorus] Down in Whitetown oh yeah Down in Whitetown oh yeah Down in Whitetown [Verse 2] Johhny’s just tryin’ to make his way He’s got a job and mister it don’t pay He sits and counts the scars on a stool at the end of Whitetown bar And the old man here piss their lives way Drinkin’ and joking about the cock fightin’ days Ain’t no answers here just the passing fear Spending the rest of their days [Chorus] Down in Whitetown oh yeah Down in Whitetown oh yeah Down in Whitetown [Bridge/Instrumental] Youu    ohhhh          oh whoa Youu   ohhhh           oh whoa [Bridge] In a dream salvation comes with a beat All the sound of breaking glass and muddy feet The beat that echoes down through the street Mary Anne dances on [Chorus] Down in Whitetown oh yeah Down in Whitetown      Down in Whitetown oh yeah Down in Whitetown oh yeah Down in Whitetown oh yeah Down in Whitetown [Outro] Youu ohhhh             Youu ohhhh
