Back to Boomtown
Calling
In my head it's calling
Then all the exile years fall away
It's insisting
And Lord there's no resisting
You can twist and turn
But you'll never turn away
In my head it's calling
Then all the exile years fall away
It's insisting
And Lord there's no resisting
You can twist and turn
But you'll never turn away
I can pick your face out in the crowd
See your shape in every passing cloud
But Lord when you'd call my name
I used to feel ashamed
So tonight for just one night
I'm going to take that plane
That's bringing me
See your shape in every passing cloud
But Lord when you'd call my name
I used to feel ashamed
So tonight for just one night
I'm going to take that plane
That's bringing me
Back to Boomtown
Right now
Back to Boomtown
In my head
Right now
Back to Boomtown
In my head
It's bleedIt's bleeding
Boomtown's lying bleeding
It felt the sun for a second
Shine down upon its face
But then the rains came
Lord the heavy rain came
Now the sun won't smile
On Billy's face again
It felt the sun for a second
Shine down upon its face
But then the rains came
Lord the heavy rain came
Now the sun won't smile
On Billy's face again
Did you wake up from that stolen dream
To find yourself in someones nightmare scene
The streets like trees stripped bare
The empty houses stare
While the thieves and the liars of the night
Creep away to steal
Somewhere else
To find yourself in someones nightmare scene
The streets like trees stripped bare
The empty houses stare
While the thieves and the liars of the night
Creep away to steal
Somewhere else
Me i'm going
Back to Boomtown
I'm always going to go there
Back to Boomtown
You know I want to be there
Back to Boomtown
Back to Boomtown
I'm always going to go there
Back to Boomtown
You know I want to be there
Back to Boomtown
In my head
The Boomtown Rats

They'll say it's those Rats
Those filthy Rats
Those dirty Rats
Those Boomtown Rats

D'ja wanna come to Boomtown
I'll meet you out the back
Between the dirty alley
And those Boomtown flats
They're dedicated to St.Boomtown
He's the patron saint of crap
He's praying for a miracle
But what he gets is those Rats
Those Boomtown Rats
I'll meet you out the back
Between the dirty alley
And those Boomtown flats
They're dedicated to St.Boomtown
He's the patron saint of crap
He's praying for a miracle
But what he gets is those Rats
Those Boomtown Rats
Ratlife
I've been living all my life
In a Ratlife
I can't take it anymore
I've been living off the floor
In a Ratlife
It gets you down
And now my autumn leaves are burning
That turning trick from red to gold
And I can feel my winters coming
Blowing cold
Ratified
Take me back to Boomtown
I'll be ratified
Circumscribed
And ratified and blue
Take me back to Boomtown
And I'll be osified
Face down in the gutter
With no shoes
