This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us Songtext
von Sparks

Zoo time is ′she and you' time
The mammals are your favorite type, and you want her tonight
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
You hear the thunder of stampeding rhinos, elephants, and tacky tigers

This town ain′t big enough for the both of us
And it ain't me who's gonna leave

Flying, domestic flying
And when the stewardess is near, do not show any fear
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
You are a khaki-colored bombardier, it′s Hiroshima that you′re nearing

This town ain't big enough for the both of us
And it ain′t me who's gonna leave


Daily, except for Sunday
You dawdle in to the café where you meet her each day
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
As 20 cannibals have hold of you, they need their protein just like you do

This town ain′t big enough for the both of us
And it ain't me who′s gonna leave

Shower, another shower
You've got to look your best for her and be clean everywhere
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
The rain is pouring on the foreign town, the bullets cannot cut you down

This town ain't big enough for the both of us
And it ain′t me who′s gonna leave

Census, the latest census
There'll be more girls who live in town, though not enough to go ′round
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat


You know that this town isn't big enough
Not big enough for both of us
This town isn′t big enough
Not big enough for the both of us
I ain't gonna leave
