the same old loose lipped cannon
speaks for you today
alone without your talent
thereÔÇÖs not much to say
and all these arguements
are meaningless today
and the reasons why theyÔÇÖve
vanished in the haze
(2*) calling downtown
no reasons do they owe you
tell me
howÔÇÖd you think it came to be
(2*) calling downtown
how they come to love you
when you didnÔÇÖt want to set
them free
we donÔÇÖt forgive to know you
will you ever see
know reasons do we owe you
howÔÇÖd it come to be
the leaves have lost their shadows
deep amongst the grey
i hope that youÔÇÖll be friendly
i heard someone say
(2*) itÔÇÖs a stranger, calling downtown
the further away you get
its easy to start from the back of the line
where thereÔÇÖs no one to tell you youÔÇÖre still behind
itÔÇÖs a stranger the further away you get
and you never miss your friends
until you canÔÇÖt relate to the people beside you
here today .
itÔÇÖs a stranger the further away you get
calling downtown
calling downtown
