streets of this town are busy, but at night they're coughing
street cars are filled with people, staring into nothing
the clubs are warm and soothing, but they won't give you home
the sound can hurt you only, when the silence comes
walls around so high
raised before your eyes
and dancing in our heads
the harlequins cheer
harlequins cheer
harlequins cheer
lights go out on mainstreet, and sunlight turns up soft
but the day may come up cloudy, bringing sorrow hard enough
I wandered by the fences, restless in the morning
this town is not for poets, you get muted from you're born
walls around so high
raised before your eyes
and dancing in our heads
the harlequins cheer
harlequins cheer
harlequins cheer
on my way to nowhere, I came knocking at your door
but the house was dark and empty, and your picture didn't show
I walked on through the wild, found places rough and real
where deep inside my mind, I found us lost in fear
walls around so high
raised before your eyes
and dancing in our heads
the harlequins cheer
harlequins cheer
harlequins cheer
