Dying Town Lyrics - Singles - Storm Large

There was a sad gypsy clown who could make you cry 

With a lick of guitar and a Spanish Fly 

And every night was a wild thing awaiting 

To fill the world with sound and fury 

Now that's all over 

There was a brilliant man with a rabbit's heart 

You'd fall in love while he beat on his autoharp 

With a kiss after 10 cigatettes 

"I'm sorry kid, Chicago's calling 

And this town is over" 

Now it's all over 

But what a town it was 

With it's endless freak parade 

Now it's just a dying town 

The city shined with it's own kind of rock stars 

The punk in the cafe, the girl in the pool bar 

Thank you for my decafe grande 

I'm tired of fighting, I'm a lover 

And I'm tired it's over, it's all over 

But what a town it was 

With it's endless freak parade 

And all around us, the music played and played 

It's all over now, the freaks got chased away 

And now it's just a dying town 

It's just a dying town 

(instrumental break) 

Fat cat came and chased all the blues away 

And punk rock, jazz and the hip hop DJ 

Music can't be killed however 

If it's unloved, the music's over 

It looks over now, it sure looks over now 

It sure looks over now 

But what a town it was 

With it's endless freak parade 

And all around us, the music played and played 

It's all over now, the freaks got chased away 

And now it's just a dying town 

Oh, oh, it's just a dying town 

Oh, oh (it's just a dying town) 

Oh what a town it was, 

The freaks got chased away 

What a town it was 

The freaks got chased away (x5)
