Downtown Theatre

Well they took out the downtown theatre For a pub and a tower of flats They say that for a couple grand You can live where you watched your movies at Or meet your girls for apps And they took out the midtown diner For a place to wash your car They say that for a couple bucks It'll shine like the lights from the boulevard Or the brightest of the stars And they took out my father's house So they could widen up the road The goin's still the same But now the gettin's not as slow Like a bullet to the dome Or maybe it's more like a pile of slowly melting snow They say that life goes on Yeah, and I think they're right Everything has its time They say that when you're gone Someone remembers you Jesus, I hope that's true Well I moved into the country And I called myself a man Told someone I loved them But never let them in Eventually ran Then I registered for classes And I rented books to read So I could criticize All of the things people believe But never turn on me Then I took my father's words All his wisdom and his songs Moved into the city And forgot every single one Like night gives in to dawn And now I roll around And wonder why I feel so numb They say that life goes on Yeah, and I think they're right Everything has its time They say that when you're gone Someone remembers you Jesus, I hope that's true They say that life goes on Yeah, and I think they're right Everything has its time They say that when you're gone Someone remembers you Jesus, I hope that's true Remember me too, dear
