dream killing town

Singer: john mellencamp

pre-war matador

save your broken bones

golden rule

he's such a fool

in the streets alone

slow burn

taciturn

nothing left to say

column five

sympathize

it's easier that way

just want to be a big boy

pushin' some jim-jims around

but it's hard to be a dreamer

in a dream killing town

hard to be a dreamer

in a dream killing town

good as dead

sally said

i fear what she knows

money spent

for reconnaissance

and blood's upon her clothes

child's toy

soldier boy

playing with his gun

uptown

missile clown

living on the run

he just want to be a big boy

growing up too soon

show you his gun

flash his knife in the sun

and dance to a rock and roll tune

once tried

twice denied

sally said she knew

full sized polarized

is what she's looking through

switch blade

promenade

leather jacket war

cliche

don't runaway

slipping out the back door

all night parasite

wake me up at noon

copped himself an attitude

down at the red dog saloon

quick laid

masquerade

gets the young boy up tight

low rent

jack-a-lent

says he's gonna be all right
