Burnt Out Town Lyrics - Hypnotic Eye - Tom Petty

Yeah! 

I was walking down the street the other day 

A woman stopped me 

She said: why are you loking so down in the mouth? 

And I told her 

This is a burnt out town 

Is full of dirty looks 

The ashes are mainstream 

And the mayor is cooking the books

I even like those friends 

I turn them into crooks 

Yeah this is the burnt out town 

You wear the same clothes 

They dancing on the glass ceilings 

While the money flows 

She doesn't know who I am 

She doesn't care 

Yeah! 

Take that, honey! 

This is the burnt out town 

The city has come to blow 

It's a cruel reality 

A decent life exposed

Yeah, it's the burnt out town 

It's going down but no one knows 

Yeah, it's the burnt out town 

Ain't there but we're getting close
