Intro:
* * * *
Here's the town we live in
This is how the land lays out
I bought a map
Ooooo, So I could find my way around, way around
Taped the map on the wall
Studied every avenue
I Found my way around
Tried to feel at home for once
(Ooo ooooo ooo)
We worked out a system
*
When one of us would leave
A thumbtack stuck showing
*
Where we were going
All the time, you wore a hole
The same place tacked over and over
And I never go there
I never go there
But through that hole, you see
My faith in you … boring deeper and deeper
Finally through that wall
*
(slide)
*
Map began to rip apart
I watched it falling to the floor
I didn't bother
moving my thumbtack any more
Here’s the town we live in
This is how the land lays out
I bought a map
*
So I could find my way around
(bass)
rip apart
*
I watched it falling to the ground
(bass)
I didn’t bother
Moving my thumbtack any more
