[Verse]


Stuck in speed

ere the only t

hing that’s pr

etty
             
Is the thought

           
 of getting ou

There’s a towe

r block overhe

ad  All you’ve

 got’s your be

nefits
             
And you’re bar

[Chorus]


In this troubl

e town
            
Troubles are f

 
ound

In this troubl

e town
            
Words do get ’

round


[Verse]


Kick the botto

m make trouble

s flee  Smoke 

until our eyes

 would bleed
             
Sparkle pop th

  
e seed

Hear the siren

s down the str

eet  The kids 

get light on t

heir feet
             
Or they’ll be 

           
in the back se

[Bridge]


In this troubl

e town
            
Troubles are f

ound


Sitting on the

 pavement

Boy you’ve mis

sed your payme

nt
             
And they’re go

              
nna find you s


oon


If there’s a b

eating in the 

rain

If there’s a l

ittle bit of p

ain, man
             
You’re the one

[Verse]


If I talk of g

etting out  I 

only hear the 

laughter loud
             
It’s got an ug

   
ly echo

Somewhere ther

e’s a secret r

oad  To take m

e far away I k

now
             
But ’til then 

          
I am hollow
