Sun comes up, machine guns marching in
It all comes back around, it all comes back around
Harbor’s full, sailboats made of tin
It all comes back around, it all comes back around
I went down, down, down to the mission on Palm Sunday
To keep the bombs from falling on my head
I hung around for 2 or 3 short hours
Then they dumped me on the street instead
Said, sing to me, sing to me, sing to me, oh Jezebel
Let me hear some of the lies they tell about you
Set your red head down along these gravestones
This'll be done in a year or two
I couldn't be what you want from me cause no one can be what you want from me, said
I couldn't be what you want from me cause no one can be what you want from me, said
I couldn't be what you want from me cause no one can be what you want from me, said
I couldn't be what you want from me cause no one can be, no one can be
Wave came in, and then came out again
It all comes back around, it all comes back around
Harbor’s dry, fields are growing thin
It all comes back around, it all comes back around
Couldn’t say, say, say I was as a hero or a coward
Couldn’t write my name among the dead
Not sure they could call me a survivor
So they dumped me on the street instead
I kept a stash in the apartment
Jezzie kept on saying it wasn’t safe
Just some water, just some soup cans and a
Gun I hid out on the fire escape
The old guard didn’t know me
The new guard didn’t like me
The old guard didn’t know me
The new guard didn’t like me
So I’m leaving town, so I’m leaving town
But I’ll be back again someday
So I’m leaving town, so I’m leaving town
But I’ll be back again someday
So I’m leaving town, so I’m leaving town
So I’m leaving town, so I’m leaving town
But I’ll be back again someday
So I'm leaving town, it all comes back around
But I’ll be back again someday
