0:15Well grey clouds wrapped round the town like elastic
0:19Cars stood like toys made of Taiwanese plastic
0:23The boy laughed and danced around in the rain
0:30While launderettes cleaned clothes high heels rubbed toes
0:35Puddles splashed huddles of bus stop crows
0:39Dressed in their suits and their boots
0:41Well they all look the same
0:47I took myself down to the cafe to find all the boys
0:51Lost in books and crackling vinyl
0:55And carved out a poem above the urinal that read
1:02Don't you cry for the lost
1:05Smile for the living
1:07Get what you need and give what you're given
1:11Life's for the living so live it
1:14Or you're better off dead
1:30While the evening pulled the moon out of it's packet
1:35Stars shone like buttons on an old man's jacket
1:39We needed a nail but we tacked it 'til it fell of the wall
1:46Yeah while pigeon's pecked drains sparks flew like planes
1:51The rain showed the rainbows in the oil stains
1:55And we all had new iPhones but no one had no one to call
2:03And I stumbled down to the stomach of the town
2:07Where the widow takes memories to slowly drown
2:10With a hand to the sky and a mist in her eye she said
2:18Don't you cry for the lost
2:21Smile for the living
2:23Get what you need and give what you're given
2:27Yeah life's for the living so live it
2:30Or you're better off dead
2:45Or you're better off dead
3:03Well I'm sick of this town this blind man's forage
3:07They take your dreams down and they stick them in storage
3:11You can have them back son
3:13When you've paid off your mortgage and loans
3:19Oh hell with this place I'll go it my own way
3:23I'll stick out my thumb and I trudge down the highway
3:27Someday someone must be going my way home
3:35Till then I'll make my bed from a disused car
3:39With a mattress of leaves and a blanket of stars
3:43And I'll stitch the words into my heart with a needle and thread
3:51Don't you cry for the lost
3:53Smile for the living
3:56Get what you need and give what you're given
3:59Yeah life's for the living so live it
4:02Or you're better off dead
4:07So don't cry for the lost
4:10Smile for the living
4:12Get what you need and give what you're given
4:16Life's for the living so live it
4:19Or you're better off dead
4:23Don't you cry for the lost
4:26Smile for the living
4:28Get what you need and give what you're given
4:33Life's for the living so live it
4:37Or you're better off dead
