|
A shimmer or a shudder, a sentence or a shriek |
|
What other languages do we speak? |
|
I don't know what the answer is, but fair dues to you |
|
A local lack of wisdom never stopped your being true |
|
A drummer in the basement |
|
A rhythm - roll at each hand's turn |
|
Finding one thing you can believe in |
|
Could seem like so much work |
|
You've heard the cry before |
|
Up and away we shall go |
|
Tearing up the town |
|
Tearing up the town |
|
Hurry to dinner, son, the heat is on |
|
Your daddy's in the oven and your mamma, she's gone |
|
She went down to the clinic, but the news was not good |
|
They told her it was nothing much, but she'd had quite enough |
|
The ruins of a household, a loverboy who sits and stares |
|
"No, No" she cried, "I can't take it, I'm gonna go out somewhere" |
|
You've heard the cry before |
|
Up and away she goes |
|
She's tearing up the town |
|
Tearing up the town |
|
Tearing up the town |
|
Now we're really with it, comrades, now we're set |
|
Ben Dolan's right behind us with the castanets |
|
It took a lot of pleading, but he came here after all |
|
And Ben's the very boy to take us right to where we want |
|
Hey, look at them couples linking through the rainy streets |
|
Someplace to be in love, the best there'll ever be |
|
Oh sister sadness, get yourself behind me |
|
Oh brother badness, why must you deny me? |
|
It doesn't matter where I've gone |
|
I'm on the run like everyone |
|
Tearing up the town |
|
Tearing up the town |
|
We're tearing up the town |
