Steve Hackett - Darktown lyrics

Take a trip take a ride Through Darktown don't be shy Gather by the clocktower take your seats Glad you're here it's for keeps Festering wounds from years gone by Toxic waste you buried inside In Darktown Take a turn step on down Through an alleyway you'll find By the backstreet trash resides The underworld you tried to hide And from a dark corner where walls loom high You'll hear the sound of a small child's cry In Darktown Legions of hate schools of fear Proudly accomplished their mission here A hidden agenda behind the eyes For the gifted ones they most despised They couldn't do it in the X-rated world But presided over the boys and girls In Darktown It's all on camera it's all on film On the couch in the shower The stains are there still Drink to the ones who dished out the marks Rabid animals right from the start It's happy hour shut the beasts away Come along children it's time to play In Darktown
