Well I've been waiting for the rain to break but I guess my waiting's through It's been dry as a bone since 1982 And I've been trying to protect myself With these possessions I keep on his walls all my books and my records but they don't give me shadow at all we're not smart enough to know that I but come on come on come on Take me into town Take me into town Oh did you see my boots when you walked in Y'know I guess this shirt'll do I'm broke as a monkey and I could use a drop or two well i know just what I'll do when I get there you know I saw it in a magazine I can get so low you'll have to bill me from off of the street We're not smart enough to know but I come on come on come on Take me into town Take me into town Take me into town Take me into town (take me into town) Take me into town (take me into town) Take me into town (take me into town) Well I've been talking to the dog for days But you know it's just no use She's sitting like a sphinx and I can't get to the truth And I've been staring at the floor for days Trying to figure out what it all means But I know when I'm awake I'm dumber in my dreams we're not smart enough to know but I come on come on come on Take me into town Take me into town Take me into town Take me into town
