Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A barefoot whore
Walking by a famous clock
Against her door
Waiting for the chimes to stop
[Chorus]
Can't sink this town
Pull the gates and bring it down
I'd gladly drown
Than let you leave me lonely
[Verse 2]
She pulled the cord
On a night like this, she never works
I said no more
Do I think I'm understood with her?
[Chorus]
Can't sink this town
Pull the gates and bring it down
I'd gladly drown
Than let you leave me lonely
[Chorus]
I can't sink this town
Looking back across the sea
I'd gladly drown
I thought you said you were lonely
[Verse 3]
Tell you what
Is a broken promise cheap enough?
It's all I got
Look so sad, talks so tough
[Chorus]
Can't sink this town
Pull the gates and bring it down
I'd gladly drown
Than let you leave me lonely
[Chorus]
I can't sink this town
Looking back across the sea
I'd gladly drown
I thought you said you were lonely
[Outro]
I thought you said you were lonely
I thought you said you were lonely, ah
