I've been working overtime
And I can't get you off my mind
I sleep in the pouring rain
When will you come home again?

Spinnin' like a Gravitron when I was just a kid
I always thought that things would change but they never did

Spinnin' like a Gravitron when I was just a kid
I always thought that things would change but they never did

I'm hanging on to the end of this rope
Somewhere on the outskirts of hope
Life without you not around
Another kid in lonely town
And I'm spinnin' like a Gravitron when I was just a kid
I always thought that things would change but they never did

Spinnin' like a Gravitron when I was just a kid
I always thought that things would change but they never did

Now I'm standing outside your house
And I'm wondering, baby
Do you hear the phone when I call?
Do you feel the void when I fall?
Do you hear the crack when I break?
Did you lock the door when it shut?
Can you see the knife when it cut?
Do you keep your ear to the ground?

For the kid in lonely town (lonely town)
Lonely town kid in lonely town (lonely town)
Lonely town

Spinnin' like a Gravitron when I was just a kid
I always thought that things would change but they never did

Spinnin' like a Gravitron when I was just a kid
I always thought that things would change but they never did

Do you hear the phone when I call?
Do you hear the crack when I break?
Do you lock the door when it shut?
Do you keep your ear to the ground?

For the kid in lonely town (lonely town)
Lonely town (lonely own)
Lonely town
Lonely town
