Nightmare Town Songtext
von Altameda

Meet me down by the pylons tonight
Let′s tear into the guts of this little nightmare town
That holds us down
And keeps us out of the light

'Cause I remember you dancin′
Beneath the light of disco ball in the gym
That night making love under plastic stars glued to the ceiling
'Til the sun let in

You said, "My daddy's got a shotgun in the shed"
"Why don′t we blow ′em all away and keep this house all to ourselves?"
And I know it was a joke but something was going through my head
About the power of the gun and what I could do with it, hey

Baby, let's burn it down
I can′t stand the sound of this nightmare town
This nightmare town

Meet me down by the pylons tonight
Down by that river full of shopping carts
Where the beauty ends
And all the madness starts


Because we met in the second grade
Ah, baby, you were so well behaved
And I was nothing but a dead end kid
Causing trouble was all I did

I'll bet those Hollywood lights are looking good right now
Why don′t we go for a ride?
I could steal my brother's car and if we leave right now
We can drive all through the night, alright

Baby, let′s burn it down
I can't stand the sound of this nightmare town
This nightmare

Baby, let's burn it down
I can′t stand the sound of this nightmare town
This nightmare town

Baby, let′s burn it down
I can't stand the sound of this nightmare town
This nightmare

Baby, let′s burn it down
I can't stand the sound of this nightmare town
This nightmare town
This nightmare town
