Dream Killing Town Lyrics - John Mellencamp

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 

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

Listen To Taylor Swift's New Song 'Call It What You Want' 

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 

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 

Photos 

Once tried, twice denied 

Sally said she knew 

Full sized polarized 

Is what she's looking through 

Switch blade, promenade 

Leather jacket war 

Cliche, 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
