• Silvertown - John Gorka
• Silvertown - Push Stars

I don't want to leave the lights of the town
So I drive to the edge and I turn it around
The sheriff's car eyes me like I'm some sort of fiend
But the only thing I'm guilty of is burning gasoline
I drive to the south gate and I drive to the east
The new owners only kept the young employees
My wife doesn't mind that I drive late at night
'cause I don't come home drunk and I never want to fight
I went down to Metro and pawned both my guns
So I wouldn't be tempted by either of them
I've got the tire tread to measure the loss
But I wonder how I'd feel if just once I punched my boss
Just punched his face in once
But that little punk would have put me in stir
And we'd never get back to the fine thing we were
In Silvertown, right here in Silvertown
I pass by the lights of casinos and bars
I can always find work if I want to deal cards
If I worked for myself then I'd write my own check
There'd be nobody there to breathe down my back
Like in Silvertown
The old owners lied as to what was in store
Silvertown runs on a promise like this and no more
The tourists gamble while the real people work to save

If you want to see Silvertown
The best time's when no one's around
In the dark of the morning
You can sneak through some backyard
To see the beautiful city
Open like Christmas in the sky
Just then something blinds your eyes
Like a comet or a sparkler on the Fourth of July
It's an angel falling from the skyline
Crying over all the wrong she sees
They'll be swimming in the streets
Well I try to understand
By holding out my hands touching her teardrops
Deep down in Silvertown
There's a clown hung on a cross
He's been burned by words that he never deserved at all
So I'm gonna be taking his place
Trading my frown for his face
And if I ever lose faith
Well, I'll just look at the pictures of him smiling on
my wall
Angel falling from the skyline fighting
Why don't you look me in the eye
You never even try
Well, I've got so much to say
But you're bound to turn away
So why even try to
Angel falling from the skyline
Laughing at me surrendered on my knees
She never said this would be easy
I said, 'I feel so down'
She says, 'You're bound to come around'
I said, 'I feel so down'
She says, 'You're bound to come around'
I said, 'I feel so down'
She says, 'You're bound to come around'
