Down in the Village
Shades of gray are dull
I find a way to generate the day
Life seems like some hand me down
The threads are showin' through
Just want to go home and sit around

But it doesn't phase me
I'd trash the given chance
It doesn't make me give up my old teenage lament
That now and then holds true
Settle up
Pay it back
It's what you owe
It's all you know

Down in the Village
With all the shades of blue
I finally found somethin' I want to do
I want a piece of what I know
That I deserve
The fact that I'm sittin' around is perverse

But doesn't phase me
I'd trash the given chance
It doesn't make me give up my old teenage lament
That now and then hold true
Settle up
Pay it back
It's what you owe
It's all you know

And doesn't phase me
I'd trash the given chance
And doesn't phase me
I'd trash the given chance
It doesn't make me give up my old teenage lament
That now and then hold true
Settle up
Pay it back
It's what you owe
It's all you know
Settle up
Pay it back
It's what you owe
It's all you know
