Down The Shore

from Whiskey Gap, Pt. 1 by Go To Coventry

/

lyrics

This town is dead
No storefronts, instead
Boarded windows along 5th and Main
Where the theater once stood
Just rubble and soot
Tired faces reflecting the change

An envelope tears
At the notice he stares
It announces the third shift is closed
When the factory’s been razed
Three hundred bills to be paid
And the mayor just ran unopposed

In newspapers read about plasticine dreams
Search for a while, ain’t no looking glass smile
On the suit and the tie with his focus-group lie
That pleads, “follow me”, but I’m packing my things
I’m down the shore

I’m down the shore
I’m down the shore
Shoulda been here before
The wind and the sea always calling to me
I’m down the shore

The seasons will change
To snow and then rain
As she waits for a knock at the door
“There were pills by the bed”
The policemen they said,
“Ma’am I’m sorry, he ain’t with us no more”

In newspapers read about plasticine dreams
Search for a while, ain’t no looking glass smile
On the suit and the tie with his focus-group lie
That pleads, “follow me”, but I’m packing my things
I’m down the shore

I’m down the shore
I’m down the shore
Shoulda been here before
The wind and the sea always calling to me
I’m down the shore
