lyrics

crowds are mumblin’ and the cars rush by
and play the ancient main street‘s lullaby
the window‘s dirty but I can’t unsee
people closing all doors for the peace they need

all this stupid nonsense
will you just keep going
until you faint

well you can’t keep running
from a train so fast
if you don’t fall under
you’re the first to last
and you can’t wade down
into a river so deep
the current comes
to sweep you off your feet
and the main street plays your lullaby
yeah the main street plays your lullaby

I had me a job down the old motel
where the doors don’t close and the moisture smells
two years into this hollow life
felt I couldn’t take on one more sunrise

all this stupid nonsense
will you just keep going
until you faint

well you can’t keep running
from a train so fast
if you don’t fall under
you’re the first to last
and you can’t wade down
into a river so deep
the current comes
to sweep you off your feet
and the main street plays your lullaby
yeah the main street plays your lullaby

two thousand living ’round four grey walls
with a rent so low but it takes it’s toll
when you feel like dying then you start to die
but if you pick your head up, will it all pass by?
