In a razor town
You take whoever you think you can keep around
There's an echoed sound
That permeates the sidewalk where she shuffles 'round
It's a big machine
It used to be the avenue of changing dreams

She's a lonely thing

Sweeping up the glitter while she pulls the strings



Take a long last look

Before she turns to stone

What the last man took

And what was long, long gone



The way it used to be...

I wasn't there to see it working properly

Now it seems to me

Both of you are suffering

I've heard her say

That you're the only reason she's alive today

I just turned away

Thinking maybe she was right



So say your last goodbye

Make it short and sweet

There ain't no way for you to fly

With her hanging on your feet



Let her go out if she wants to

If she don't, go out yourself

Don't take sorry for an answer

Unless you really want what's left



Cause in a razor town

The only thing that matters tends to bring you down

There's no way around

But maybe you can barrel through

Cause a razor ain't no good for you
