about

Recorded with Bill Bottrell (Michael Jackson, Tom Petty, George Harrison) on the California coast. He understood the song and delivered it like a baby.

lyrics

It's amazing how many just give up,
weary of waiting around.
If they try and act smart it will tear them apart.
There's a darkness at the heart of this town.

It's amazing how many just grow up,
grow up only to be cast down.
So they all play their part though they knew at the start:
there's a darkness at the heart of this town.

And that dark will enfold you
like your mother's sweet arms.
She just wants to hold you.
She don't mean you no harm.

It's amazing how many just freeze up
when they look and they see where they're bound.
There's no map, there's no chart, there's no ease, there's no art.
Just a darkness at the heart of this town.
