Tom Verlaine
A Town Called Walker
Janey's going back to Walker, says folks
There are happy bees. I said you remember Walker
You lookin for some misery? It's not their
Tricks that I mind... it's just the way they say
"we" all the time
That town's not a number, it's simply gone numb
They'll finish you off there before you've begun
Janey's going back to Walker. Papa says you're so corrupt
Mama says you mind your pa. Brother Al he's lost his voice
And sister says she's just a claw
Folks there in Walker they've got their fun
They'll count you out there before you've begun
Expecting exciting and new lights to be shining
On anyone who can find someone else there to blame
Folks there in Walker are falling in love with their
Shame. Janey's going back to Walker
Says folks there are happy bees. I said
You remember Walker. It's not their tricks
That I mind. It's just the way they say "we"
All the time. 0 Janey who can you blame?
Folks there in Walker are falling in love
With their shame
Janey's going back to Walker
