There was once a place with no hope or mercy
On the infamous side of town
Where the poets dreamed and the sirens whispered
And the sun stayed in after dawn
You had left without a right or reason
What you couldn't say wouldn't do
Troubled minds and all the troubled pieces
That go on and on back to you
And I wonder where was I before
And I feel I can't take anymore
Ooh all of this old pain
Why does it all feel the same?
Oooh all of this old pain
I couldn't know us better now
Come with me I'd like to be your compass
Lead you through the night, escape the day
Meet me there with that old time fever
Not a care to give or take away
