Forgotten Town

No life for living
Where there's no time for giving
No sign of loving
In this age of push and shoving
Another man with a broken heart
Can you see the pressure tearing me apart?
There's so much for me to overcome
Should I stay or fight?
But where else is there I can run?

How can I get out?
There's no way I can get out
How can I get out?
There's no way I can get out

No life for living
Where there's no time for giving
No reassuring can end what I'm enduring
I'm looking hard for the slightest sign
Hear your words echoing around my mind
I'm starting to believe what the papers say
Yet one more blow
I'm reeling but I can't run away

How can I get out?
There's no way I can get out
How can I get out?
There's no way I can get out

But if you'd open your eyes
You'd know there's so much you could do
If you'd open your eyes
You'd make a thousand wishes come true
Well this must be one of the troubles of the living
In this forgotten town
Don't get me wrong
Hear the hollow words ringing, now the chips are down

No life for living
Where there's no time for giving
No reassuring can end what I'm enduring

How can I get out?
There's no way I can get out
How can I get out?
There's no way I can get out

But if you'd open your eyes
You'd know there's so much you could do
If you'd open your eyes
You'd make a thousand wishes come true
Well this must be one of the troubles of living
In this forgotten town
Don't get me wrong
Hear the hollow words ringing, now the chips are down
