lyrics

Here's a story about this town
it'll pick you up and drag you down
swallow my friends whole on every street corner
there's not a day that passes by
where I don't laugh or shed a tear
sitting with Andy track-side
sharing beers

because we play hard every night
and we work hard everyday
gonna drink til we puke or pass away

from this town
this a place I call home
yeah this town
a place where you're never left alone
yeah this town
a place you can hold your very own
its a tale of two rivers sing along
to a New Helvetian song

There's something toxic going on in this town
the rivers turning a dirty brown
the bourgeois-iest night lounges replace my favorite clubs
the kids sold out and traded in their converse
for designer jeans or a burbberry purse
a Rollie Fingers mustache in every bar

I hate to love this town,
yeah I love to hate this place
no matter what
I'll never get away

from this town
this a place I call home
yeah this town
a place where you're never left alone
yeah this town
a place you can hold your very own
its a tale of two rivers sing along
to a New Helvetian song.

The missing are bound to return someday
the missing are bound to return to...

This town
this a place I call home
yeah this town
a place where you're never left alone
yeah this town
a place you can hold your very own
its a tale of two rivers sing along
to a New Helvetian song.
