lyrics

ANYWAY

The people in this town they look at you obliquely
open up their mouths and say “hasn’t it been nice lately?”
they’re smiling with their lips, but eyes quickly slide away
look a little harder, love them anyway

The people in this town they all dress in black
they’re running much too fast, running like there’s no way back
“I’ve got no time to talk now, just can’t waste the day”
take a little longer, love them anyway

The people in this town they’re all going home
to turn on the TV, and they’re turning off the answer-phone
setting their alarm clocks, waiting for the day
lay your burden down, love them anyway

I’m standing at the bus stop, I’m waiting in the queue
I know I’m going somewhere, but I don’t know where to

The people In this town are sleeping well tonight
some are dreaming dreams of walking out into the light
some will dream in shadows, some will fade away
open up our eyes and love them anyway.
