lyrics

It comes to this I laugh aloud,
empty faces empty crowds and
all of the moments are passing in their endless
dance of the windblown newspaper that circle
the grey silent buildings that wander lonely in
this redneck town.
Nobody around. I sense that they're near. It's been a hard year.

Another bridge, another shore,
there are no secrets anymore,
new homes are being built but all they hide are tvs and
guilt, beards and hockey games
old lads with little girl names.
Empty faces, narrow minds,
I don't know what I hoped to find in
this redneck town.
Nobody around. I sense that they're near. It's been a hard year.

I just got word from my old friend,
says that we will never end.
She comes here and takes my hand,
tells me that she understands.
I don't believe what I see,
I love the way she looks at me.
We fly up across the fields as out tattered hearts yield;
I love this redneck town.
