The Towers and the Trains Lyrics & Tabs by The Elms
The Towers and the Trains
guitar chords lyrics
In this town
When it rains
There are years
That wash off towers and the trains
And the splashin'
Sounds like laughin'
As it rolls and it slides
Off the ceiling's and the sides
Of the towers and the trains
There's a black list
A deep black -----(?)
Scars so deep
They talk to children
They live with people till the grave
And folks get shaken
They talk to children
They live with people till the grave
And folks get shaken
Twist or brake 'em
They find themselves
Condemned to burnout
They rust in crack
And then they turn out
Like the towers and the trains
Nothin' beats them downtown streets
They can't keep a dream alive
Women talkin'
Their heart rockin'
How will I survive?
We got issues
From all them -----(?)
We got wasted youth
And missing persons
Who got nothin' left to do but age
They sit on their porches
Lit by torches
And if you'll listen in the stillness
You'll hear them singin'
About their illness
The towers and the trains
Nothin' beats them downtown streets
They can't keep a dream alive
Women talkin'
Their heart rockin'
How will I survive?
In my town
When it rains
There are years
That wash off towers and the trains
And the splashin'
Sounds like laughin'
As it rolls and it slides
Off the ceilings and the sides
Of the towers and the trains
The towers and the trains
The towers and the trains
The towers and the trains
