Lyrics

galveston, i'm so afraid to die, when the people all around me, can't remember where they found me, and i'm telling you, i know it's a lie, all of the people smile at me, all of the people, sing you a song, guaranteed to bring tears to your eyes, never been one for hanging around, with the same old crowd, i'll sing you my songs, kid, they're all i can do, they're all that's allowed, galveston, i'm so ashamed to die, when the people who surround me, keep on thinking that they've found me, and i'm telling you, i think i know why, all of the people cheer for me, all of the people, ring in the new year, ring out the old year misery, never been one for hanging around, with the same old crowd, i'll sing you my songs, kid, they're all i can do, they're all that's allowed
