E----------------------------------3----------------------------------------------| In a razor town you take whoever you think you can keep around And there's an echoed sound that permeates that sidewalk where she shuffles round It's a big machine, used to be the avenue of changing dreams And she's a lonely thing, sweeping up the glitter while she pulls the strings Chorus 1 x1

E----------------------------------3----------------------------------------------| The way it used to be, I wasn't there to see it working properly And now it seems to me that both of you were suffering You know I've heard her say that you're the only reason she's alive today And I just turned away, thinking maybe she was right x1
