[hometext] => I'm going to go to the no-frown town where they walk gently on the streets downtown...
[bodytext] => Erin Drackelson: I'm just a young man Lost in this assembly Of sinking sand Now I'm broken up By this world Deceived by sons Who flew too close to the Sun Now they're men burnt By their own ambitions I must go away from it all This world cannot be so small I want to leave They will find It is they who Have been deceived I don't want to be lost When the lights finally turn out Like a moth without a flame My sanity, is it plain? My vanity, is it sane? If I'm sane, then maybe Just maybe The world can carry on Without pain I think I know Where to go Temple of silence Surrounded by snow I'll meditate I'll concentrate My mind on releasing my fears That have been inside me for many years World leaders: Are you a boy? Are you a man? When will you understand? Your bones will be dust And your dreams will be sand Soon even your thoughts will be scanned Will see if you're a boy Or if you're a man Erin Drackelson: Are you world leaders? Or peace defeaters? That's all I've got to say Are you world leaders? Or are you truth depleters? Just trying to swing the votes your way I must go, must go away I must go away from it all Where the trees are tall And the air pollution's small To a town filled with friendly faces It's one of the down-to-earth places I'm going to go to the no-frown town Where they walk gently on the streets downtown Where I might find that love of mine Who I have tried, tried to find Sleepwalking!
