I couldn't sleep
Took a walk down Second Avenue
Sick of dreaming dreams that never come true
One way street and I know where its leading to
There's a 'For Sale' sign on the front door of the city hall
The subway line got graffiti crawling off the wall
I could take a hit but I don't want to take the fall
That's just one side of the story
It's a two story town
It's just the same old sights
And the same old sounds
I want to take my car and drive out of this two story town
It's the same old ship going 'round
I'm going down, down ,down, down, down
It's a two story town
There's a girl that I sleep with
She's got ecstasy eyes
He promised her roses and American pie
I called her and my demons
And I kissed them both goodbye
Seven days of Monday morning
In a two story town
It's just the same old sights
And the same old sounds
I want to take my car and drive out of this two story town
It's the same old ship going 'round
I'm going down, down ,down, down, down
It's a two story town
One shot to make a move now
The ghosts are calling me out
And me I'm just one story
In a two story town
But you're never going to find me in the lost and found
It's just the same old sights
And the same old sounds
I want to take my car and drive out of this two story town
It's the same old ship going 'round
I'm going down, down ,down, down, down
It's just the same old sights and the same old sounds
I want to take my horse and ride him off this merry-go-round
I won't give in and I won't back down
I'm going down, down, down, down down
I ain't going down, down, down, down, down
I'm never going down, down, down, down, down
It's a two-story town. In this two story town
