Imagine the space as it used to be There were fields of corn There were big oak trees But a woman in a suit bulldozed it clear Built a concrete world full of crocodile tears
And we don't understand That we all have a part in a government plan It's a hard shot To be the people in the place that the world forgot In a paperback town
But I know I know I know we can be free Though no guardian angel up above Has kept an eye on me And at night I listen to the sirens moan For a broken heart from a broken home So many people are so alone In a paperback town
And one day soon I'm gonna write it all down I live my life in a paperback town
Oooh--in a paperback town Oooh--in a paperback town
I'm gonna take my troubles Gonna pack my bags Gonna fly my kite for a different flag I'll sing my song From the top of the hill When the night is cold And the wind is chill
'cos I don't understand Why I should be part of another man's plan It's a hard shot For the people in the place That the world forgot In a paperback town
Live and die here In a paperback town Wonder why here In a paperback town
But I know I know I know we can be free | Though no guardian angel up above Has kept an eye on me And at night I listen to the rain fall down
