The Town At The End Of The World Songtext / Lyric

On the corner of Hope and Forsaken Streets

There's a house where a little girl lives

She's been waiting alone for her dad to come home

And make good on the promise he gives



But he's busy downtown on Besotted Street

In a tavern he visits each day

He's been drowning his sins in tequila and gin

While the whole world just washes away



And he feels alone

And he doesn't know

Why he can't control his own life any more

So he runs away

And he comes to stay

Where he feels at home

in the town at the end of the world



His mind is lost on Anguish Avenue

As he summons his strength not to cry

While his girl is alone when he doesn't come home

And she still doesn't understand why






That he feels alone

And he doesn't know

Why he can't control his own life any more

So he runs away

And he comes to stay

Where he feels at home

in the town at the end of the world



He thinks the best of his life has gone by

But all the things worth living for

Are in front of his eyes



And over the hill on Nostalgia Way

There's a woman that he used to love

She is wondering how he is doing right now

And if she's someone he's thinking of



And she feels alone

And she doesn't know

Why she can't control her own life any more

So she runs away

And she comes to stay

Where she feels at home

in the town at the end of the world
