In a razor town you take whoever you Think you can keep around   There's an echoed sound   That permeates the sidewalk where She shuffles 'round   It's a big machine   It used to be the avenue of changing dreams   She's a lonely thing   Sweeping up the glitter while    She pulls the strings      Take a long last look   Before she turns to stone   What the last man took   And what was long, long gone      The way it used to be   I wasn't there to see it working properly   And now it seems to me   Both of you are suffering   You know I've heard her say   That you're the only reason    She's alive today   I just turned away   Thinking maybe she was right      So say your last goodbye   Make it short and sweet   There ain't no way for you to fly   With her hanging on your feet      Let her go out if she wants to   If she don't, go out yourself   Don't take sorry for an answer   Unless you really want what's left      'Cuz in a razor town   The only thing that matters    Tends to bring you down   There's no way around   But maybe you can barrel through   'Cuz a razor ain't no good for you
