Dream Killing Town

[Verse 1]

Pre-war matador

Now save your broken bones

Golden rule, he's such a fool

In the streets alone

Slow burn, taciturn

Nothing left to say

Column five, sympathize

It's so much easier that way

[Chorus]

He just wanna be a big boy

Pushin' some Jim-Jims around

Well, it's hard to be a dreamer

In a dream killing town, yeah, yeah

Hard to be a dreamer

In a dream killing town

[Verse 2]

Good as dead, that's what Sally said

And I fear what she knows

Money spent for reconnaissance

And blood's upon her clothes

Child's toy, soldier boy

Playing with his gun

Uptown, now missile clown

Living out on the run

[Chorus]

He just wanna be a big boy, yeah

Growing up too soon

He want to show you his gun, flash his knife in the sun

And dance to a rock and roll tune, yeah, yeah

Show you his gun, flash his knife in the sun

And dance to a rock and roll tune

[Bridge]

Once tried, twice denied

Sally said she knew

Full sized, polarized

Is what she's looking through

Switch blade and a promenade

And a leather jacket war

Cliché, don't you run away

And slip your ass out that back door, yeah

[Verse 3]

All night parasite

Wake me up at noon

Copped himself an attitude

Down at the Red Dog Saloon

Quick laid, masquerade

Gets the young boy up tight, yeah, yeah

Low rent, Jack-a-Lent

Said he'd gonna be all right

[Chorus]

He just wanna be a big boy, yeah

Pushin' some Jim-Jims around

Well, it's hard to be a dreamer

In a dream killing town, yeah, yeah

Hard to be a dreamer

In a dream killing town, yes it is
