Hold your fire. I’m coming out and I’ll tell you the truth. I was trying to raise my roof. Did you see it. That I needed to prove. That my stinger always stays. You said she’s beautiful when she plays. Did I hit you in the proper place. Suddenly. (Chorus 1). I oh well I could live in this town. Five cold years before I. Yes I could live in this town. Before I head for home. It’s my turn. With the spotlight burning a hole. But my bird-heart’s turning cold. As the temperature rises all around. To the sound of a ticking bomb. And then it’s not just showing off here. You know there’s something going on. Going on here. Suddenly. (Chorus 2). I oh well I could live in this town. Five cold years before I. Yes I could live in this town. Five cold years. Yes I could live in this town. Five cold years before I. Well I could live in this town. Before I head for home. And considered it odd. That I ever stayed. You know that feeling you get. when you don’t want to leave. That feeling when you don’t want to leave. (Chorus)
