Teksty: Favez. Emmanuel Hall.

i never go around the block

twenty steps and then i stop

and man i take a good look at the dirty walls

and all the dirty lives in between

but when emmanuel hall was alive

he used to come down here all the time

he'd always laugh it off and he'd tell me son

you never really get it when you're young

and then emmanuel hall was the strongest man

to ever come out of this town



and all the colours were bright

and the stars threw light

we never strayed oh we were straight on the line

and the hours became days

and the days became years

and he was still around and waiting to find



i never really close the door

so he can come in like he did before

he'd say i never did leave don't you worry none

you didn't really think i could be gone

but emmanuel hall never comes

it doesn't really bother anyone

he used to tell me son i ain't got no one

cause we live better when we're on our own

and then emmanuel hall was the strongest man

to ever come out of this town



and all the colours were bright

and the stars threw light

we never strayed oh we were straight on the line

and the hours became days

and the days became years

and he was still around and waiting to find

another part of town where the ground was sound

and every building was a break for the mind

and in time he found nothing and fate

came down crash on everyone he left behind
