I couldn't sleep
  Took a walk down Second Avenue 
Sick of dreaming dreams that never come true 
  One way street and I know where its leading to 
  There's a "For Sale" sign on the front door of the city hall 
  The subway line got graffiti crawling off the wall 
  I could take a hit but I don't want to take the fall 
That's just one side of the story 
  In this two story town 
It's just the same old sights 
  And the same old sounds 
  I want to take my car and drive out of this two story town
  It's the same old ship going down 
  I'm going down, down ,down, down, down 
  It's a two story town 
There's a girl that I sleep with 
  She's got ecstasy eyes 
  He promised her roses and American pie
  I called her and my demons
  And I kissed them both goodbye 
Seven days of Monday morning 
  In a two story town 
 It's just the same old sights 
  And the same old sounds 
  I want to take my horse and ride him off this merry-go-round 
  It's the same old ship going down
  I'm going down, down, down, down, down 
  It's a two story town 
One shot to make a move now 
  The ghosts are calling me out 
Guitar solo
And me I'm just one story 
  In a two story town 
  But you're never going to find me in the lost and found 
 It's just the same old sights 
  And the same old sounds 
  I want to take my horse and ride him off this merry-go-round 
  It's the same old ship going down 
  I'm going down, down, down, down, down
  It's a two story town 
 It's just the same old sights and the same old sounds 
  I want to take my horse and ride him off this merry-go-round 
  I won't give in and I won't back down
  I'm going down, down, down, down down 
  I ain't going down, down, down, down, down 
  I'm never going down, down, down, down, down 
  It's a two-story town
