Somebody Else´s Town

Blood is thicker than water
Friendship´s stronger than fear
Love is God´s favorite daughter
It´s perfectly clear
I can see it tonight
in the comets faint light
as my heels hit pavement
wet from the night
Rain that´s coming whispering down
on somebody else´s town

A broken down dinner
with three people in it
Pulls my attention
for half a minute
I think about tryin´ to talk
To explain why I´m takin´ this walk

Why a simple motel room
can be some kind of hell room
It´s making me get up and stalk this way
cause I don´t want to say that
I´m down in
somebody else´s town

I am stronger than this
I have been here before
I am no frekin´ kid
in this first taste of war
With the loneliness drifting around here in
somebody else´s town

Music spills out into the street
Must be someone in there I could meet
But I think I will telephone home
Hear that soft sleepy voice on the phone
Keep them awake by the sound of my talking
Tell the truths I found out walkin´ in
somebody else´s town
