lyrics

Tonight was the first time I called this place my home
The wettest town I’d ever lived in
Tonight was the first time I called this place my home
Now it’s just a face I might never see again

The people come down to sell
They swarm down from the Citadel
‘Cause the days of watch are over

If I were Dorothy and Dorothy were me
We’d have clicked our heels back to New York City
But here the rates are cheaper, some say taxes are free
And that makes death the only certainty

The people come down to sell
They swarm down from the Citadel
‘Cause the days of watch are over

Come you rain down from the sky
You’ve made your trip and so must I
Come you rain down from the sky
Come home with me

I take in my returnables, I collect my cash
This town is just a pan looking for a flash
The circus comes around each and every day
To pass the hat for the young hearts who’ve already gone grey

Well the people come down to sell
They swarm down from the Citadel
‘Cause the days of watch are over

Come you rain down from the sky
You’ve made your trip and so must I
Come you rain down from the sky
Come home with me (x2)

Tonight was the first time I called this place my home…
