lyrics

Only One Thing

Only one thing you can do here for fun
Only one thing you can do here for fun
Sit around and watch this town eat it's young

Only one thing to survive this place
Only one thing to survive this place
Gotta unplug your heart and hide your face

Only one thing you can do for this town
Only one thing you can do for this town
Change the color of the sky and turn it upside down

Only one thing that's ever gonna change
Only one thing that's ever gonna change
That's the subtle difference between terrible and strange

Only one thing you better be countin' on
Only one thing you better be countin' on
No matter how long you're gone, you can't be gone too long.

You never showed me the future,
You only showed me production lines
You're the only one who never felt the crime

Now residing in the swamps of Virginia, Smith performs club gigs and
