Ricochet - Teartown lyrics

Rushing down the alleys Like a soldier on patrol I try to hide my eyes from pa**ers-by They send me to this ghetto Where the slaughterhouse is close at hand Get out, before it's much to late Splinters wounding me Showing I'm torn in three The law, the truth and what my eyes can see The sound of boots on the pavement A footbridge for the who*es and thieves I sweep the ground but only catch the worms Those who look out of the mora** Dishonest or corrupt See the removal van beside the Arabian bar An avalanche is sliding Destroying hope and health Try to break out or you will be buried alive Blast all mens corruption You've got the means to make a stand Left is just a feeling vis a vis To suicidal tendencies Lots of faceless shadows are hiding in this world Someone started to cry A sacrifice to hope in this night Reeling and stumbling she suddenly hit the wall This girls soul was a candle Just lit up to be blown out I'm sensing a crack in me I better watch out - still it keeps calling The crack between you and me You better watch out or you will be falling And you will be there again you will be Back in teartown, teartown You better stay calm within when you're Back in teartown, teartown Forever obliged again You're back in teartown, teartown Soaking in sweat suddenly I wake up Confronted with my wash-out I have to take the blame This one's on me I'm sensing a crack in me I better watch out - still it keeps calling The crack between you and me You better watch out or you will be falling And you will be there again you will be Back in teartown, teartown You better stay calm within when you're Back in teartown, teartown Forever obliged again You're back in teartown, teartown Blast all mens corruption You've got the means to make a stand Left is just a feeling vis a vis To suicidal tendencies An avalanche is sliding Destroying hope and health Try to break out or you will be buried alive
