This Forgotten Town

Father′s gone crazy, he stares out the window all day
Watching the same streets where once as a kid he would play
There's no hope in his eyes anymore
He′s forgotten what he was hoping for
And the postman walks straight past the door
There's no news today

Someone save me from this forgotten town
Or I'll go crazy in this forgotten town
′Cos when they lay me down, it won′t be here

Mother's been drinking, she smokes nearly three packs a day
Once she was so pretty, but time′s taken it all away
Every promise she heard was a lie
About the future, how it would be right
And I won't understand all my life
How she gets thru the day

′Cos there's no way out of this forgotten town
So you live your life out in this forgotten town
The only way is down, when dreams don′t come true
No not for you, no no

There's no hope in his eyes anymore
He's forgotten what he was hoping for
And the postman walks straight past the door
There′s no news today

Someone save me from this forgotten town
Or I′ll go crazy in this forgotten town
There's no way out of this forgotten town
So you live your life out in this forgotten town
Until you′re in the ground it's all you can do
It′s all you can do now
No no no
