lyrics

Out came the sun, out came the rain, out came the gun, out came the brain.
Why is everybody always killing themselves in my town?
Along came a nun, along came a train, along came a medic saying 'God not again'.
Why is everybody always killing themselves in my town?
Is it an experiment? What do they know? Is it an epidemic does the morgue overflow? Is it something I've done? Something I've said? I can't ask anyone they're all dead.
Why is everybody always killing themselves in my town?
A family moved in right next door. I don't hear the kids scream anymore.
Why is everybody always killing themselves in my town?
No papers now, no radio. TV dead like everybody I know.
Why is everybody always killing themselves in my town?
There's nobody coming now to clean up the mess. No letters left behind to justify the loneliness. They're all past caring what anyone thinks.
Gotta close the window 'cos the whole place stinks.
Why is everybody always killing themselves in my town?
God don't let them see me, I'll hide down on the floor, I saw somebody move but no-one does that anymore.
Why?
