Well I've been waiting for the rain to break
But I guess my waiting's through
It's been dry as a bone since 1982
And I've been trying to protect myself
With these possessions
I keep on his walls
All my books and my records but
They dont give me shadow at all
We're not smart enough to know that I but
Come on come on come on
Take me into town
Take me into town

Oh did you see my boots when you walked in
Y'know I guess this shirt'll do
I'm broke as a monkey and
I could use a drop or two
Well i know just what I'll do
When I get there
You know I saw it in a magazine
I can get so low you'll have
To bill me from off of the street
We're not smart enough to know but I
Come on come on come on
Take me into town
Take me into town
Take me into town
Take me into town
(Take me into town) [x3]

Well I've been talking to the dog for days
But you know it's just no use
She's sitting like a sphinx and
I can't get to the truth
And I've been staring at the floor for days
Trying to figure out what it all means
But I know when I'm awake
I'm dumber in my dreams
We're not smart enough to know but I
Come on come on come on
Take me into town [x4]
