Lyrics

Everybody’s trying to sell me something
I don’t want or I don’t need
I can’t make up my mind anymore
Do I want him or is that just greed?
I get confused in the railway station instead of catching the train
I take the taxi to the local nightspot and then I walk home in the rain

Can you hear from out of town?
Don’t ask me what’s going down

Everybody’s got such good advice
On a thousand ways to improve my life
They never tell you in magazines
How to keep your head when you lose your dreams

I’m new here from out of town
Don’t ask me what’s going down

I lost myself out on the beaten track
No I don’t know if I’ll be coming back
I’d like to see you in reality
If you get there first will you wait for me?

I’m new here from out of town
Don’t ask me what’s going down

I’m new here from out of town
Don’t ask me what’s going down

I’m new here from out of town
Don’t ask me what’s going down

I’m new here from out of town
Don’t ask me what’s going down

I’m new here from  (fade/cut)
