(Niemand
in de stad – De Dijk)
The
rain falls on the pavement
There's
no one left in town
Everyone
drinks beer in the café
And
who doesn't drink, is driving
And
spatters on my legs
Cause
all my friends went their own way
There's
no one left in town
And
Paul has overdosed
That's
like seven years ago
But
I still, can't get used to the idea of it
It
was a night, just like this
All
quiet on the bridge
But
right now, I can imagine, why he did what he did
There's
no one left in town
And
Robbie, he just took off
He
was on a dead-end road
With
half the police force on his back
Cause
he just couldn't stand coppers
And
all he wanted was some luck
Got
as a stoker, on a freighter, back on track
And
Nell is dead, and mama, and Chrissy
Everyone
just dies
And
all the others, drink beer in the café
The
rain falls on the pavement
There's
no one left in town
Cause
all my friends went their own way
