Rumors fly Like the writing in the sky There's a part of town I'm not supposed to go Danger signs That you read between the lines And there's someone there I'm not allowed to know I heard there's a rumor going round Gonna be a showdown I heard there's a rumor going round One of us is leaving town Lying eyes And it comes as no surprise That they follow me In every place I go Should I stay Should I turn and walk away There's a part of me That does not want to know Cause I heard there's a rumor going round I caught it on the rebound I heard there's a rumor going round Trouble could be back in town Shadows fall On the writing on the wall If you look too long You see it fade away I'm aware There was something in the air And the spoken word Is just a game we play And I heard there's a rumor going round No one's gonna back down I heard there's a rumor going round Trouble could be back in town I heard there's a rumor going round There gonna be a showdown Someone's gonna win Someone's gonna lose Nobody is backing down I heard there's a rumor going round They're heading for a showdown Something's going round Something's going on One of us is leaving town
