Gie Few - 2nd Place Town lyrics

This was before you were born & we were over the hill Down on the street where you lived The scent of it lingers still We had a place in the clouds & there was heartache on every corner & people that came & that went Had never been so unimpressed In this second place town Stacks of nothing all around Empty buildings that crumble down on dead avenues In this second place town Friends are nowhere to be found They've thrown their hopes into the sound & wouldn't you It was a cold day in hell & no one was paying attention You kept your back to the wind & your sights on something else And left all the locals behind Crying in our rented tuxedos And wishing that we were the ones Who didn't have to wake up again So we look up to you now Like a puppet looks up to his strings You & your championship friends With all of your 1st place things
