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
