Rory Gallagher - Kickback City lyrics

rate me

They say this town will kill you<br />

They say this town ain't got no soul<br />

This town could take a childs smile<br />

And turn it into stone<br />

But don't you think I know that<br />

This town has cut me to the bone<br />

Trouble crawling up your back<br />

Fear just eats your soul<br />

<br />

You say this town will eat you up<br />

You say this town ain't got no heart<br />

You try to learn all your lines<br />

And you try to play the part<br />

With all this double dealing<br />

I tell you brother you get smart<br />

Here in kickback city<br />

You're lost before you start<br />

<br />

People in subways look nearly half dazed to me<br />

Renting tomorrow investing in sorrow no belief<br />

<br />

Faces in sidestreets hiding like angels for grace<br />

Selling you sorrow renting tomorrow you're out of place<br />

<br />

They say this town will kill you<br />

They say this town ain't got no soul<br />

They'll set you up and pull the stitch<br />

Till you unravelled on the floor<br />

But I won't let it beat me<br />

Though trouble's knocking in my door<br />

Somehow it's just your smile<br />

That keeps me coming back for more<br />

Here in kickback city<br />

Feel I'm going down slow<br />

Here in kickback city<br />

Feel I'm going down slow
