Lovetown

Peter Gabriel

People go naked and pick up these trails

Someone before me laid down these rails

When it's loaded up too heavy,

this engine fails

In lovetown

I can't settle down

And do those teeth still match the wound

Take a good look around

In lovetown



Aaahha, aaahha

Looking in lovetown

Aaahha, aaahha

This is lovetown



Sometimes you're stormy water

on which I pour my oil

In each other's shadow

The roots reach into the soil

All these knots so tightly tied

We could not uncoil

In lovetown

No place to settle down

And do those teeth still match the wound

Take a good look around

In lovetown



Aaahha, aaahha

This is lovetown

Aaahha, aaahha

Looking in lovetown



Who's lonely lips will find these hidden scars?

Who's seen the kisses left in dim lit bars?

Who's out in the streets, looking for love like ours?

Who's looking in lovetown tonight?



Have you got what you want

Said have you got what you need

With what you did and what you saw

Did you find you needed more

Have you got what you came for

Are you really so sure

Are you really so sure



Looking in lovetown

In lovetown

Living in lovetown

Hey yeah yeah.
