Quote from: Battles
People won't be people when they hear this sound
That's (That?) been (I don't hear "been") glowing in the dark at the edge of town Town doesn't sound like town, to me, it sounds like "Forever", same with the other parts with "town"
People won't be people, no
The people won't be people when they hear this sound
Won't you show me what begins at the edge of town

People won't be people when they hear this sound
That's been (I don't hear "been") glowing in the dark at the edge of town
People won't be people, no
The people won't be people when they hear this sound
Won't you show me what begins at the edge of town

The singer is a crook What sounds like "Whoa-ah-oh"
The singer is a crook What sounds like "Whoa-ah-oh"
The singer is a crook What sounds like "Whoa-ah-oh"
The singer is a crook What sounds like "Whoa-ah-oh"
The kitchen is the cook What sounds like "Whoa-ah-oh"
The scissors are the barbers What sounds like "Whoa-ah-oh"
The singer is a crook What sounds like "Whoa-ah-oh"
The chorus, full of actors

The chorus doesn't matter I don't hear this part

So the way i hear it, it would go like this

That sounds right to me, but i'm just not sure! D:

someone typed up the lyrics and forgeted up in a few places

and left out the noises

and people usually only include the chorus once

you just get used to this stuff after reading lyrics from websites

I would've taken out the second part that is a repeat of the first, but i wanted to include the musical break between that one part of it
