I'll stay as long as I can
This town is a ghost land
Everybody moved away
And I just stayed behind

I claimed their tasks - one by one
Every job still needs getting done
And I do them not just to pass the time

At the general store, there's everything that I need
I buy and sell myself my groceries
Then balance the till

I hired myself, the job is mundane
But I pay myself a living wage
With plenty of overtime to fill

This town has it all
Like Rome after the fall
Keep on
Keep on
The opposite of urban sprawl

At the barber shop I cut my own hair
Clean my teeth in the dentist's chair
I've got keys to everywhere

I wear a white coat and my stethoscope
When I tell myself I'm getting sick
I make sure my insurance covers it

I'm a learned man, I teach myself in the school
My syllabus is almost always full
No easy A's

I sing in the choir, and I preach to the pews
But the Bible's only seldom used
No fire and brimstone left these days

This all resembles culture
A facsimile of life
Move on
Move on
Staving off that slow demise

I walk the beat, but I'm always unarmed
There's no crime I've committed so far
No quid pro quo

But I'd lawyer up and present my own case
A judge and jury with one same face
I hope my innocence would show

I lay on the couch when I'm feeling unsure
For a dose of the talking cure
It's not funny, it works

Play chess with myself, sometimes I let myself win
The witty banter's really wearing thin
I'm miss people so much it hurts

My small town kind of living
Smallest town under the sun
So alone
In my home
And it's population one

I'll stay as long as I can
In this skeletal ghost land
Everybody moved away
And I just stayed behind

There's one job I could never do
An undertaker and a body too
To save some one else's precious time

I'll build myself coffin
Someday I'll climb right in
When the time is right
When the time is right
In the neighborly tradition

This town has got it all
Like Rome after the fall
My town
This sacred ground
It's future population none
