Father's gone crazy, he stares out the window all day Watching the same streets where once as a kid he would play There's no hope in his eyes anymore He's forgotten what he was hoping for And the postman walks straight past the door There's no news today Someone save me from this forgotten town Or I'll go crazy in this forgotten town 'Cos when they lay me down, it won't be here Mother's been drinking, she smokes nearly three packs a day Once she was so pretty, but time's taken it all away Every promise she heard was a lie about the future, how it would be right And I won't understand all my life how she gets thru the day 'Cos there's no way out of this forgotten town So you live your life out in this forgotten town The only way is down, when dreams don't come true No not for you, no no There's no hope in his eyes anymore He's forgotten what he was hoping for And the postman walks straight past the door There's no news today Someone save me from this forgotten town Or I'll go crazy in this forgotten town There's no way out of this forgotten town So you live your life out in this forgotten town Until you're in the ground it's all you can do It's all you can do now No no no
