Songtext von Dirt Off Your New Shoes

Take the shells that you've collected Sow them with your favorite silver thread Now you jingle, now you rattle with every step Skeletons upon the stairway Showing up the teeth inside their heads Is it you or are they laughing at what you said? And when the day came, You had the same name, You let your town down Town down Way down And when the day came, You had the same name You let your town down Town down Way down (Breakdown) In the dark and down the hillside Run until you cannot catch your breath Get the band to play a love song...at your request Smell the cinnamon and chocolates Marigolds yellow, pink and red On the ground you spread a blanket to be your bed And when the day came, You had the same name You let your town down Town down Way down And when the day came, You had the same name You let your town down Town down Way down And when you...when you, get on your new shoes You turn your town down, way down
