lyrics

Time Ain’t Changed a Thing in the Town (Byrne)
At every wars beginning,
As the pieces fall in place,
And every piece of timber loses its timbre along the way,
And your furniture is firewood,
As a tenant takes your place,
But I still find your beauty,
Though you’ve been ridden hard and put away soaking wet.

Chorus
Time ain’t changed a thing in this town,
The upside’s still up,
The downside’s still way down.
Time ain’t changed a thing in this town,
It never will,
Keep saying it never will.

And all your sinking feelings,
And your impending dread,
And the lines that every cigarette drew so heavy upon your breath
Chorus

You’re not feeding anybody,
And there’s families to feed,
But you’re getting my attention and my attention is all you really need.
Chorus x 2
