Quiet Town, Empty Town

So I went back home
And I took my place
And I smiled into
that gargoyle's face
Said don't you believe in the holy ghost,
don't you believe in the holy ghost,
said I'm sorry, but I don't
I'm sorry, but I don't

City gets dark
Turn off the lights
Nothing more is going to
Happen here tonight
The hectic events of the interminable day are done
The streets are unsafe unless you're carrying a gun.

Sit and think
Stars above
Falling down in
Everlasting love
said don't you believe in true love
don't you believe in true love
I said I'm sorry, but I do
I'm sorry, but I do

City gets lonely
Alone and I'm cold
Yell in my ear but
It's too late to be sold
These empty streets are never this quiet when I'm with you
Now I hear my footsteps echo in a futile I-love-you.
