Lyrics

Westcoast town

As I drift through this one-horse town
?got nowhere to go
Came with nothing but dreams on my shoulder
Still got nothing to show
I know I?m one in a million
yes I?m sure it?s me
So many have come before
but they have never been me

Chorus

Man this town fans a fever in me
but it?s rough and ruthless and cold as the sea
Takes what it wants while it lets others drown
maybe I should burn this whole damn town down ? yeah!

Huddled masses many waiting on tables
some forgot why they came
Always ready to sell their souls for
fifteen minutes of fame
Red carpets and black limousines
everyone knows your name
Another cog in the glamour machine
it?s all part of the game

Chorus

Halfway in doesn?t mean too much because
it?s also halfway out
If you?re an ?A? then you?re fine for tonight
?cause there?s another party and you?re invited ? yes that?s right!

Chorus
