I got to get out of this ***** old town
                                     My blood's in a fever
                                     My loves in the ground
                                     My heart is on fire
                                     My brains in the pan
                       My time is an hourglass... sifting like sand

                                     And all I can do
                                     Is pace up and down
                                     Like a dog on a chain
                                    That can't get around
                                     My mind is confused
                                     My nerves are a wreck
                       You put me out like a smoked cigarette

                   You laughed in my face... made me feel like a clown
                             I got to get out of this ***** old town

                                     The girl down the street
                                     Got shot in the back
                                      Her babies are crying
                                      She's not coming back

                          Her mother weeps at a hole in the ground
                          I got to get out of this ***** old town

                                     The man on the news  
                                      Shows a kid with a gun
                                      Caught in the alley
                                      With no place to run
                            
                           Will an answer ever be found?
                            I got to get out of this ***** old town

                          I got to get out of this ***** old town
                                      My blood's in fever
                                      My loves in the ground
                                      My heart is on fire
                                      My brains in the pan
                            My time is an hourglass...sifting like sand
