Broken Town Blues Songtext
von The Strange

The ice has thickened on the windows
The north wind′s screamin' in the yard
Out there I met my devil, but I faced her down
Livin′ at the edge, the edge of Broken town

The moon was crazy dancin'
In an old night gown
A phantom in the coldest night
At the edge of Broken town


You were wreckin' havoc with my future
Kicked all resistance to the ground
Covered up the body in a blanket
You said we gotta get our stories straight
Said we better synchronize before the cops come round
You tore me down in Broken town

The moon was crazy dancin′
In her old night gown
A phantom in the coldest night
At the edge of Broken town

The rifles all been buried in the backyard
The bullets, they′re all drownin' in the well
I walk through town like nothin′ ever happened
A righteous smile painted on my face

You claim you've got my back, but I don′t know how
It's been a thousand years ago since you left Broken town
