I heard that you’re home again,

But you don’t look like you’re back to me.

With your focuses changing

Your gaze is transfixed on a point that I can’t often see.

I’ve got your new ties

I’ve got my old knots

You’ve got your inside line

But you’re never happy with what you’ve got.

Careful now, you’re so beautiful

When you’ve convinced yourself

No one else is quite as beautiful

I heard that you’re living well

But you don’t look like you’re living to me

Though the sparkle is gone

Your smile is in place so that everyone watching will see

You’ve got them all convinced

But I know so well

That you can list your friends

But you can’t count on them

Hold it now

You’ve got everyone convinced

That you’re alright,

No one else is quite as vulnerable

As soon as you’ve got it

You want something else.

Is not the sale that you love it’s the sell

It’s not the price, that’s gonna cost you

It’s just the weight, that’s gonna bring you down town

Down town

It’s gonna bring you down down down down town

It’s gonna bring you down town

Down town

It’s gonna bring you down down down down town

Hold it now

You’ve got everyone convinced

That you’re alright,

No one else is quite as vulnerable

Careful now, you’re so beautiful

When you’ve convinced yourself

No one else is quite as beautiful

As soon as you’ve got it

You want something else.

Is not the sale that you love it’s the sell

It’s not the price, that’s gonna cost you

It’s just the weight, that’s gonna bring you down town

Down town

It’s gonna bring you down down down down town

As soon as you’ve got it

You want something else.

Is not the sale that you love it’s the sell

It’s not the price, that’s gonna cost you

It’s just the weight, that’s gonna bring you down!
