Tell your friends and tell your folks That you ain't comin' home Tell your ma and tell your pa That you don't wanna die alone There's a hole in this town There's a crack in the road There's a tear in her gown I got more than what I need I'm gonna give back my heart To the dust and the weeds Gonna be far away The alley sleepers know your name They know your not like them The city's creepin' through your veins It poisoned every limb There's a hole in your chest There's a crack in the sky There's a bird in your nest You got more than what you need Your gonna give back your heart To the dust and the weeds Gonna be far away There's a hole in this town There's a crack in the road And there's a tear in her gown I got more than what I need I'm gonna give back my heart To the dust and the weeds Gonna be far away
