An overture to paint a picture of the Gasoline Coast.

lyrics

Get out of this town.
Get out of this town.
Get out of this town.
You know it’s true.

Get out of this town.
Get out of this town.
Get out of this town.
There’s a hard black rain a-comin’ down.

Watch where you sleep at night.
Button up your coat real tight.
You’re such a lovely sight
In the hard, black rain.
Drink another cup of gin.
Those streetlights pouring in.
My boy you’re looking thin.
You know it’s true.

These walls are built too thin,
Let every noise out.
Let’s tear it down, boys
Down, down, down, down.
This town is built of sin,
There’s something rotting.
Let’s tear it down boys,
Down, down, down, down.

They walk these streets at night,
Reeking of gasoline,
They roll their tongues out and they spill out on the street.

They skid the cobblestone,
Whisper forgotten names,
Knowing full-well there is no going home again.

Those rambles shack and shake,
Wind blows in from the south,
Their faces burn and crack but not their pretty mouths.

That old moon creaks and sways,
A rusty shade of brown,
The sky is coming down tonight on this forgotten town.
