Pour your words out
Come on, I'm not coming back
Draw the curtains
Come on, that old sun is back
My hometown has cursed me
Lately
I'm not coming
Back
'Cause the last thing that I noticed
As that old train came around
Was the city burning golden
As the sun came shining down
And I sat there still in my mind
I screamed "goodbye, farewell"
To my hometown
I'm not coming
Back
Fire engines
Come on
There's a race to run
Throw your hat in
Come on
There's the starting gun
My hometown has cursed me
Lately
I'm not coming
Back
'Cause the last thing that I noticed
As that old train came around
Was the city burning golden
As the sun came shining down
And I sat there still in my mind
I screamed "goodbye, farewell"
To my hometown
I'm not coming
Back
I woke in fright
(With the moon outside)
Sleep won't come
(You know when you need it)
You just can't tell
(You never can, son)
I hope I'm brave
(Hope so too)
I woke in fright
(With the moon outside)
Sleep won't come
(You know when you need it)
You just can't tell
(You never can, son)
I hope I'm brave
(Hope so too)
I hope I'm brave
I-I-I I'm not coming back
The last thing that I noticed
As that old train came around
Was a city burning golden
As the sun came shining down
And I sat there still in my mind
I screamed "goodbye, farewell"
To my hometown
I'm not coming
Back
I'm not coming
Back
I'm not coming
Back
