Take the shells that you've collected   Sow them with your favorite silver thread   Now you jingle, now you rattle with every step   Skeletons upon the stairway   Showing up the teeth inside their heads   Is it you or are they laughing at what you said?      And when the day came,   You had the same name,   You let your town down   Town down   Way down      And when the day came,    You had the same name   You let your town down   Town down   Way down      (Breakdown)      In the dark and down the hillside   Run until you cannot catch your breath   Get the band to play a love song...at your request   Smell the cinnamon and chocolates   ? yellow, pink and red   On the ground you spread a blanket to be your bed      And when the day came,   You had the same name   You let your town down   Town down   Way down      And when the day came,    You had the same name   You let your town down   Town down   Way down      And when you...when you, get on your new shoes   You turn your town down, way down
