Abandoned

words and music by R.L. Hargis

There ain't a soul to be trusted in this town
Where the demons reign and the angels drown
Suicide headlines scream the news
Its official, they say, nobody's got nothin left to lose
It's a city full of broken and forlorn
Who wake up every morning just a wishin that they'd never been born
I'm standin on the corner at midnight
Just tryin to make some sense of it all
The best thing about bein on the bottom
Is there ain't no further left to fall
Somethin's wrong here - I don't belong here
Somethin's wrong here - I don't belong here

Church bells ring and birds scatter from the trees
Ain't nobody prayin but everybody's on their knees
Sunday mornin streets are empty, it just ain't right
Cause this town was painted red with blood on Saturday nite
The faces of the ladies on the street all say we're nearin the end
It's hard to find yerself it's hard to find a friend
I'm swimmin in this sea of nightmares
Dontcha know I'm sinkin fast
Lost a million miles away from nowhere
A victim of my broken past
I'm a stranger - In a world of hate and anger
I'm a stranger - Feel my soul's in danger

Time keeps passin by I wake up and I cry because I
Don't know how to get free
Don't know how to get myself away from me
I don't know how to get away from me

The madman prophet says that God's first name is Clyde
He says Satan's name is Luther and he's comin so ya better run & hide
He was naked at the fairy tale party neath the blood red moon
Where the dish was gettin pissed cause the needle took off with the spoon
I'm starin in the funhouse mirror
Tryin to take off my face
Wadin thru this city of sewage
I'm outta time, I'm outta place
I'm alone here - I'm a rollin' stone here
I'm unknown here - I'm a rollin' stone here
