Magnum (band) - Shadow Town lyrics

Fortunes are won But some have to work till they drop Oh, and the faster they run They don't know till they have to stop And it's nothing at all For a rich man to be Completely blind to the call Of the whole misery The mask that they wear Is broken in two The wind cries in fright A message to you The grey stone crumbles As years are pa**ing Caught up in this shadow town And life's much harder To keep on living Everywhere's just closing down The streets are angry And shouts from children Nowhere in this shadow town There's no one winning But they're all standing Waiting for it to come round Nothing's for life Except the cold and the poor Oh, and it's sharp as a knife That's one thing they know for sure Well, they knew better times Then their dreams were all sold And didn't read all the signs For a handful of gold The mask that they wear Is broken in two The wind cries in fright A message to you The grey stone crumbles As years are pa**ing Caught up in this shadow town And life's much harder To keep on living Everywhere's just closing down The streets are angry And shouts from children Nowhere in this shadow town There's no one winning But they're all standing Waiting for it to come round You're pocket's empty but then You never had much to start It's got you thinking again It's almost breaking your heart The grey stone crumbles As years are pa**ing Caught up in this shadow town And life's much harder To keep on living Everywhere's just closing down The streets are angry And shouts from children Nowhere in this shadow town There's no one winning But they're all standing Waiting for it to come round Caught up in this shadow town Caught up in this shadow town Caught up in this shadow town Everywhere's just closing down
