The pistons have grown silent
And my friends are long gone
Just who the hell do you think you are?
Have you ever built a thing?
This used to be my city
This used to be my town
Now everyone's a stranger
Well hell mend you now
This used to be my dear green place
This used to be mine
I remember music
I remember it was warm
And everyone was smiling
And spinning round and round
And she wore a white dress
The white ribbon in her her
Spinning as she pirouettes
I can't remember her face
This used to be my dear green place
Well thank God for the good days
