[Verse 1]
Dear Mr. Reed
Thank you for taking a few minutes
To read this missive riddled in mystery
Conceived to ease your disbelief
This city's streets are dripping with intrigue
And the stink of conceit, though dare I say it brings
With it a mystique, a miserable chic
Admittedly, I concede this isn’t your standard work
I am aware it sounds absurd but that's the way the candle burns
‘Til dampened by the putrid pusillanimous manner
The ancient propaganda works
But excuse my lack of good manners
Call me Johannes Van Der Berg
[Hook]
Welcome to our town
You look as if you could use a drink
Bring along those sorrows you can't drown
You can swim or you can sink
What do you think? What do you think?
Welcome to our town
You look as if you could use a drink
Bring along those sorrows you can’t drown
You can swim or you can sink
What do you think?
