It was a hell of an afternoon When I saw that I was losing you
Well, I'd heard it in 15th hand That it's true that I've been using you
People can't talk in this town People can't talk in this town
Say something funny, say something profound No, people can't talk in this town
Well, the odds were 50 to 1 I could turn back the damage that's done
But the saving grace was you And those six words you knew to be true
People can't talk in this town People can't talk in this town
People can't talk in this town People can't talk in this town
People can't talk in this town People can't talk in this town
Say something funny, bring the government down No, but people can't talk in this town
It's Jeremy inside, outside, downtown When I'm with my parents in town
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
And we'll drink and we'll laugh like before
And we'll dream of a rolling blue sea
And we'll have to admit that it's good, it's alright to be free
