Knock this town


Just me and a street light
Watch the world go rushing by
Cars are racing, people walking
But I swim against the tide
I never felt so alive before
I never felt so alone
This town can be a prison
But this town is my home

In the sea of sameness
I don't feel like the rest
Even If I want to fit in
I know I'll fail the test
But my friends will stick with me
Tomorrow and today
Through the bad times and the good
Through the blue skies and the grey

We might complain
But here's where the story will remain
These streets are energy
And the night can set you free
When I'm in this place
I'm whoever I want to be
This is our town

Knock this town, Knock this town again
Knock this town, til the bitter end
Knock this town, til we come around again
Knock this town, knock this town, knock around again

Can't go to the fancy places
They'll point us to the door
Can't afford the high life
We're too close to fucking poor
But there are places I know
Where no one ever goes
In this city, In this life
I walk a different road

Standing beneath the light
We'll own these streets tonight
Drinking in the sounds and sights
Knowing that I'm home
Breathing in the golden glow
It's the only world I know
This is our town

Knock this town, Knock this town again
Knock this town, til the bitter end
Knock this town, til we come around again
Knock this town, knock this town, knock around again

I don't know what I'm thinking now
But it's a different kind of blue
Everyone is out tonight
But I wish I was with you
I stay a minute longer
Listen to the world go by
I love woods and fields
But this is the soundtrack of my life

It's got some flaws
But then again so do we all
We might complain
But here's where I remain
Giving its strength to me
I never felt so free
This is our town

Knock this town, Knock this town again
Knock this town, til the bitter end
Knock this town, til we come around again
Knock this town, knock this town, knock around again

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
