I've been working overtime And I can't get you off my mind I sleep in the pouring rain When will you come home again? Spinnin' like a Gravitron when I was just a kid I always thought that things would change but they never did Spinnin' like a Gravitron when I was just a kid I always thought that things would change but they never did I'm hanging on to the end of this rope Somewhere on the outskirts of hope Life without you not around Another kid in lonely town And I'm spinnin' like a Gravitron when I was just a kid I always thought that things would change but they never did Spinnin' like a Gravitron when I was just a kid I always thought that things would change but they never did Now I'm standing outside your house And I'm wondering, baby Do you hear the phone when I call? Do you feel the void when I fall? Do you hear the crack when I break? Did you lock the door when it shut? Can you see the knife when it cut? Do you keep your ear to the ground? For the kid in lonely town (lonely town) Lonely town kid in lonely town (lonely town) Lonely town Spinnin' like a Gravitron when I was just a kid I always thought that things would change but they never did Spinnin' like a Gravitron when I was just a kid I always thought that things would change but they never did Do you hear the phone when I call? Do you hear the crack when I break? Do you lock the door when it shut? Do you keep your ear to the ground? For the kid in lonely town (lonely town) Lonely town (lonely own) Lonely town Lonely town
