Sleeping Town - Unruly Child

Swing upon a rope

Watching crickets fly

Wishing on a poison well

See the red dust rise

Day in, day out

When the sun goes down

Day in, day out

And the moon comes round

Day in, day out…

Everybody knows,

But no one ever says a word

In this sleeping town

Little girl loves a backdoor man

And her father cries

Until the water rises high enough

Until his virtue dies, watch it die

Day in, day out

When the sun goes down

Day in, day out

And the moon comes round

Day in, day out…

Everybody knows,

But no one ever says a word

In this sleeping town

And under a crown of thorns

He deigned no reply

And the mob of reckless lust

Began to fade before his eyes

Day in, day out

When the sun goes down

Day in, day out

And the moon comes round

Day in, day out…

Everybody knows,

But no one ever says a word

In this sleeping town.
