Sparks - This Town Ain’t Big Enough For Both Of Us

(1974) Zoo time is she and you time The mammals are your favourite type, and you want her tonight Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat You hear the thunder of stampeding rhinos, elephants and tacky tigers This town ain’t big enough for the both of us And it ain’t me who’s gonna leave Flying domestic flying And when the stewardess is near do not show any fear Heartbeat increasing heartbeat You are a khaki-coloured bombadier it’s Hiroshima that you’re nearing This town ain’t big enough for the both of us And it ain’t me who’s gonna leave Daily, except for Sunday You dawdle in to the cafe where you meet her each day Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat As twenty cannibals have hold of you, they need their protein just like you do This town ain’t big enough for the both of us And it ain’t me who’s gonna leave Shower, another shower You’ve got to look your best for her and be clean everywhere Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat The rain is pouring on the foreign town, the bullets cannot cut you down This town ain’t big enough for the both of us And it ain’t me who’s gonna leave Census, the latest census There’ll be more girls who live in town though not enough to go round Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat You know that: This town isn’t big enough, not big enough for the both of us This town isn’t big enough, not big enough for the both of us I ain’t going to leave
