Patty Smyth - My Town Lyrics
I took a walk across the Brooklyn BridgeThe new graffiti says that lifes a *****And now I hear this bridge is falling downSomeone will steal it before it hits the groundNow I wanna go out walking in my old neighborhoodWhere I was just a little girl and life was goodBut the boys are on the corner, gonna ***** with meIm gonna keep on walking, they dont seeThis is my townI was born and raised on these streetsThis is my townOh yeah, my townToo many people are on the street tonightIts way too hot someones looking for a fightWhat a mess of faces in an endless seaIm getting tired of all this energyI guess I could just pick it up and move outside of townAnd listen to the crickets when the sun goes downBut then we couldnt hear them playing down at S.O.B.sWhere my friend Lincoln can get us in for freeThis is my townI grew up too fast on these streetsHey this is my townOh yeah, my townTonight the rain is falling, falling downThe lights outside keep changing, without a soundNow lets just take a train down into ChinatownPast the house of candles, you know they burned it downTomorrow is the Puerto Rican Day ParadeTheyll be dancing in the streetsCome to carry me awayCause this is my townI was born and raised on these streetsThis is my townIm walking down these mean streetsIts a big bad townHey yeah, this is my town
