this huge construction project could also change the character of areas on this route forever
that's the worry at least of people once known as tin pan alley
you find a carousel and ride it around
but then you get bored so you tear it down
like a kid in a playground putting sand in their mouth
spit it out when you're feeling fickle
and when i say it shouldn't work that way
people's lives ain't a game just 'cause you can pay
smoking your big fat cigar
you're just a tin town toy
you kick the small kid off the monkey bars
take the mess out his specs and the size of his arm
force him to dress in black
and make him hold your holster while you shoot him in the back
and you will say i'm only writing songs
son get up off your arse and get a proper job
and snigger at my beat-up boots
i'm coming after you in fiction
you're just a tin town coy
you're just a tin town coy
