On The Town Lyrics

Clarence and Jimmy, ran off to the city

Spent all their money on funny young men

In less than a week, they were dead on their feet

From rockin' and rollin', and rocking and rollin'

And rocking and rollin' again and again

Louise and Alice, they cornered the market

Enjoyed being targets, of bodily abuse

They liked nothing better, than melting mens butter

And rockin' and rollin', rocking and rollin'

And rocking and rollin' again and again

Then in the dark times, sometimes a light shines

Truth's in desire, when innocence's expires

Seen through a bird's eye, falling through a bright sky

Searching for the ground, so they could walk around walk around

Something they knew for sure

When their eyes met, they saw

And nothing was like before (nothing was like before)

In under an hour, they'd danced out the palais

The sky opened wide and voices they heard

They ain't no believers but they've got the rhythm fever'

to be rockin' and rollin', rocking and rollin'

Rocking and rollin' again and again

There was Clarence with Alice and Louise with Jimmy

Laughing more loudly than all funny men

The guys in the Palais, were boiling with malice

'Cos they weren't the ones who'd have it away

The girls were no better, and knew that forever

They'd be rockin' and rollin' and rocking and rollin'

And rocking and rollin' again and again

And when it happened, drawn in the quicksand

Nothing like before, they all wanted more

Loving the passion, 'cos it was in fashion

Infecting all their dreams, while entering the scene

Something they knew for sure, all that had gone before

Was left on a distant shore (left on a distant shore)
