lyrics

tell me the story of the minor side of town
the ruins of the carpenter and clown
men wobble slowly when they're propped up by fear
they never caught the number on that car
when it reached the pier it just disappeared
into the black between the stars


life is cheaper on the minor side of town
your ass is worth pennies on the pound
what you've learned ain't needed
on the sunny side of life
but wait here, and we'll give you a ring
wishes become brittle, fractured advice
shattered by the whims of kings


they're shipping bodies to the minor side of town
the population never goes down
taking all the names
from the graveyard up the street
pass 'em around just like candy
what good's a name when you can't keep the beat
of a marching band ceaselessly marching?


so take advantage of the shipwreck of the stars
steal their homes while borrowing their cars
kids shoot from the treetops
and the fire will have its say
stronger then the armies of the dead
while the buildings burn
do you look the other way?
did you stop to think the fire might spread
from the minor side of town?
