The Bacon Brothers - Karaoke Town Lyrics

You're up there in your canyon like a prospector for pain
Cry Eureeka! with abandon every time you hit a vein
But you just keep on diggin' cause there's so much to uncover
A thousand golden needles make you hurt all over

But you drop the plastic microphone
Never even sang your part
You walked away cause you don't own a karaoke heart
And all those ivory covered walls died and turned to brown
You packed your bags and drove out of this karaoke town

You taught yourself to brawl and you taught yourself to swim
Through thoughts that are as dark as all that ink flows beneath your skin
When they tried to take away the axe that you have learned to swing
You poured honey on your wounds and you got back in the ring

But you dropped your plastic microphone
Never even read the chart
You walked away cause you don't own a karaoke heart
You were tired of treading water and afraid that you might drown
So you packed your van and drove out of this karaoke town

So I'll drop my plastic microphone
I will surrender to the art
And I swear that I will never own a karaoke heart
And if you ever pass my way again maybe we'll ride on the ground
We can walk these streets and talk about this karaoke town
We can walk these streets and sing about this karaoke town
