This town has turned me into what I have become
The cars and their trails leave a hot and cold line inside my head
Like frozen long-exposure pictures
And the wheels spin slowly backwards, smoldering in the amber light
And the rain comes down and it washes my brain but it don't get clean
This town has turned me into what I have become
This town dresses me up like a stranger
This town performs in the window like the ultimate gift
But this town takes its turn
I feel like I'm losing you to this town
We were saving our money for half of
Our lives, we were saving our dreams
And we came to this place and built
The chances of we here in the big city
But I've been counting the days, I've been
Watching you change and I can feel it dying
The noise outside treats you innocent
So I can learn that you're a liar
And down there somewhere above the noise
And the magazine dolls and the big party boys
Move silently on their easy heels
And move silently on their crazy wheels
This town has turned me into what I have become
This town dresses me up like a stranger
This town hangs around in the doorway, tells me I'm late
But this town takes its turn
I feel like I'm losing you to this town
The morning breaks and I watch you awake
And this town takes you down away from me again
