No Subtle Men

It's getting late

I think my time is running out

No-one special

Nothing lasting within inside

How should I stay calm

When panic lies just ahead

Everyone can see my youth

Hanging by a thread

No subtle men

Came to my town

No subtle men

Begging for my hand

I'm one of few who's left

When everyone has gone

The train is leaving

And it's too late to get on

So much for running

When no-one stays to wait

For another broken promise

To slip my mind by mistake

Who would take my word

On anything these days

I failed so many times

Saying I'm gonna change

No subtle men

Came to my town

No subtle men

No lifelong friend

Lives in my town

No subtle men

Begging for my hand
