Man Mountain

from I Started With The Best Intentions by Goodbye Fairground

lyrics

She took the last train out off this ghost town
without even waving goodbye
I know she’ll never come back and still I wonder
where she’s gonna sleep tonight
she has never known love
all she knows are the photos and tapes
of those who have stranded here

ready to spend another night
with tourists, young actors, ex-lovers and bankers
they should paint skulls and bones on every door
because this town is a beast and it’s roaring for more

nicotine eyes
they’re holding tightly to the necks of their bottles
drink it down, drink it down, drink it…
a bunch of zombies in a motel waiting for the truckers
to get lost in this ghost town

they have never known fear
all they know is the look on the faces
of those who have stranded here

play it loud or play it safe
if you really wanted to
they’d be listening to you
right now
but you might as well
get back in and order one more
and tell yourself you wouldn’t have failed.
