Normal Town
(Written by Kevin Griffin)
I still remember you dressed in grey.
Working undercover for the CIA
You were cursing Silber
Living in Back Bay
Sailing on the Charles when I heard you say
Let's go down to Normal Town
Right now
Down, Down, down
I washed you lover and scrubbed your face
Running from Miss Porter's you showed up one day
From a flat in South End where you made me strong
You said, "We're burning out at both ends."
So I came along.
Let's go down to Normal Town
Right now
Down, down, down
Hey! Wouldn't it be great
To never worry 'bout your future, never asking why?
Hey! Hey!
In a subdivision
Watching television
And our lives go by.
Let's go down to Normal Town.
Let's go down to Normal Town.
Right now
Down, down, down....

Well I've been up to the mountain
Seen the ashes down below
I had breakfast with the wise man
He told me what he thought I should know
And I've been to bed with Jezebel
And I found the well was deep
And I'd trade in my ambitions
For a warmer place to sleep
Well I've seen the heart of darkness
Read the writing on the wall
And the voice out in the desert
Was the voice out in the hall
And once he called me Abel
And once he called me Cain
And for forty days and forty nights
I slept out in the rain
Well I've been up to the mountain
Seen the ashes down below
I had breakfast with the wise man
He told me what he thought I should know
And I've been to bed with Jezebel
And I found the well was deep
And I'd trade in my ambitions
For a warmer place to sleep
Well I've seen the heart of darkness
Read the writing on the wall
And the voice out in the desert
Was the voice out in the hall
And once he called me Abel
And once he called me Cain
And for forty days and forty nights
I slept out in the rain
