Glen Phillips & Toad Lyrics


My own town (Abulum)


You all went away and left me alone
And now there’s nobody around anymore
Just a big empty house on a big empty street
In a big empty town in a big empty state

The radio’s dead and the streets are blocked off
And I’m through smashing windows and trying to get lost
I read a few books but they just made me sad
There’s nobody to talk to about what I read

Heaven knows why I’m around
Heaven knows what keeps me here
There is nothing that can keep me down
There is nothing left to fear
It’s my town now
My own town
It’s my town now
I wish you were here

I’m wondering if I should learn how to fly
A police helicopter would be a good way to die
I’d be a fireball come crashing, leaving nothing but ashes
Bald spot on the globe like nothing ever had happened here

Heaven knows why I’m alive
But heaven it can’t keep me here
There is nothing that can keep me down
There is nothing left to fear
It’s my town now
My own town
It’s my town now
But I wish you were here
