Level 42 - Hell Town Story lyrics

Daddy's little manikin likes a good time

Stretched out in the limousine head all gone

Hair is pretty astrokhan for the boyfriend

He is a zoot suited zoon politikon

Mama's mini Babylon hits the kitchen

(Can't) find the pills

that she lives on, it's a plot

See her world come crashing down, she's looking older

The Prom Queen ain't so pretty now, like it or not

It's just another little hell town story

Another blaze of hopeless glory

You don't have to end it for me

It's gonna end all by itself

Daddy's busy taking it, don't need the money

Embezzles for the sake of it, its his job

Tonight he's out and on the make, got a yearning

Cruising for some cabaret Billy Bob

Freddy's on the run again, tearing his way

Thru the streets for fun again, cross that line

Borrowed Daddy's gun again, no consequences

Money buys you everything, even crime

It's just another little hell town story

Another case of rich man poor me

You don't have to end it for me

It's gonna end all by itself

Can you feel the heat tonight, its aggressive

Hot enough to start a fight, and it does

Mama's shooting Daddy now, bang and it's all over

Turns the gun upon herself, and it's done

(The) kids find out there's nothing left, all alone now

Freddy jumps a freight train west, to Hollywood

Daddy's little manikin still craves the good times

She's so scared it's frightening, it ain't no good

Chorus
