Swing upon a rope Watching crickets fly Wishing on a poison well See the red dust rise
Day in, day out When the sun goes down Day in, day out And the moon comes round Day in, day out... Everybody knows, But no one ever says a word In this sleeping town
Little girl loves a backdoor man And her father cries Until the water rises high enough Until his virtue dies, watch it die
Day in, day out When the sun goes down Day in, day out And the moon comes round Day in, day out... Everybody knows, But no one ever says a word In this sleeping town
And under a crown of thorns He deigned no reply And the mob of reckless lust Began to fade before his eyes
Day in, day out When the sun goes down Day in, day out And the moon comes round Day in, day out... Everybody knows, But no one ever says a word In this sleeping town
