Can't Sink This Town

Freedy Johnston · This Perfect World [1994]

A barefoot whore

Walking by a famous clock

Against her door

Waiting for the chimes to start



Chorus:

Can't sink this town

Pull the gates and bring it down

I'd gladly drown and let you leave me lonely



She pulled the cork

On a night like this she never works

I said, "No more."

Do I think I'm understood with her?



Chorus



Can't sink this town

Looking back across the sea

I'd gladly drown

I thought you said you were lonely



Tell you what

Is a broken promise cheap enough

It's all I got,

Look so sad, talk so tough



Chorus:

Can't sink this town

Looking back across the sea

I'd gladly drown

I thought you said you were lonely

I thought you said you were lonely

I thought you said you were lonely
