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.
