  • John Mellencamp Dream Killing Town Lyrics

           

    Written by John Mellencamp and George Green

    Pre-war matador
    save your broken bones
    Golden rule, he's such a fool
    in the streets alone
    Slow burn, taciturn
    nothing left to say
    Column five, sympathize
    it's easier that way

    (1st chorus)

    Just want to be a big boy
    pushin' some Jim-jims around
    but it's hard to be a dreamer
    in a dream killing town
    Hard to be a dreamer
    in a dream killing town

    Good as dead, Sally said
    I fear what she knows
    Money spent, for reconnaissance
    and blood's upon her clothes
    Child's toy, soldier boy
    playing with his gun
    Uptown, missile clown
    living on the run

    (2nd chorus)

    He just want to be a big boy
    growing up too soon
    Show you his gun
    flash his knife in the sun
    and dance to a rock and roll tune

    (bridge)

    Once tried, twice denied
    Sally said she knew
    Full sized polarized
    is what she's looking through
    Switch blade, promenade
    leather jacket war
    Cliché, don't runaway
    Slipping out the back door

    All night parasite
    wake me up at noon
    Copped himself an attitude
    down at the Red Dog Saloon
    Quick laid, masquerade
    gets the young boy up tight
    Low rent, Jack-a-Lent
    says he's gonna be all right
