The streets are singin' a broken promise
Flickerin' lights that have been forgotten
Maybe you think that nobody's home yet
A city you'd love if you came any closer

Scribbled onto these walls
Are messages from before
From people that come and go
Through like a travelling show
Nobody stays for long
In my town, in my town

Nobody's rushin' at nine in the morning
And nobody's worried about where you're going
Happy or sad with no expectation
If you wanna visit we'll meet at the station

Scribbled onto these walls
Are messages from before
From people that come and go
Through like a travelling show
Nobody stays for long
In my town, in my town

Mmm, just visitors in the night
Mmm, just strangers and passers-by

People, they come and go
Through like a travelling show
Nobody stays for long
So please could you be the one
Who stays till the morning Sun?
In my town, in my town
