Home at last Oh Angela it's a long time coming They raise you up just to cut you down When you left this town, with your windows down And the wilderness inside Let the exits pass, all the tar and glass 'Til the road and sky align The strangers in this

Oh won't you lay my bags A town of disrespect The trains are wrecked The night is younger then us Nowhere is anywhere else You keep to yourself Stirring the dregs where I have laid The exit signs are flashing Dead ends they won't come to life anymore I

Oh you can pull me under When your sanity is a hurricane Into a town called paradise So let's wash away the night Into a neon scene of light Away we'll drive into a town called paradise And your heartache is tidal wave When euphoria is hit and run And

Save your sin for someone else Oh, oh, oh, not for me I ain't your mama I ain't your priest I got no time to waste on your saving grace So, get up off your knees please I ain't whiskey in a bottle, I won't let you forget No shot of Novocaine

Wish we could stay all night Tell all your friends and bring your mom and them I wish we could stay all night Well, we're gonna have to pay for the hotel, oh well Least the drinks are free Oh, I don't know if it's right But tonight I'm tyin' one on you

Down is the new up Topsy turvy town You crawled off and left us Is the new up Won't you be my girl? Get yourself together Let the light pour in Pour yourself a hot bath Pour yourself a drink

The breath of the morning I keep forgetting The smell of the warm summer air I live in a town Where you can't smell a thing You watch your feet For cracks in the pavement
