Long After Dark Lyrics - 1982

[ Buy Long After Dark ]

I'm for standin' up, i'm for breakin' free
I don't want fate handed down to me
Yeah i'm for movin' on, try another town
Time ain't changin' nothin', take a look around

Oh, i'm lost in a one story town
Where everything's close to the ground
Yeah the same shit goes down
Nothing turns around
It's a one story town

She was only seventeen
But i held her to her word
Had to push her luck
Thought she couldn't burn

No it didn't hurt me
When she had to leave
She had a far away feeling
Wasn't part of me

Oh, i'm lost in a one story town
Where everything's close to the ground
Yeah the same shit goes down
Nothing turns around
It's a one story town
