I feel myself descending The way I often do I get the feeling that there's no ending When I can't afford to lose So, let me pass them by Don't try to state your case I've had my fill of trials And I will be on my way Just don't leave town When you're down, down, down Just don't give up On the place you've grown to love 'Cause when you turn your back Bad feelings attack Come on, now, we know my hands been played out With city lights tonight, these stars just fade out I need to stretch my legs, I need to start running I feel it close, I feel a breakdown coming Just don't leave town When you're down, down, down Just don't give up On the place you've grown to love 'Cause when you start to pack Bad feelings attack
