At The Edge Of The Town Lyrics by The Bolokos

Tropikal Noise

2024

I’m drivin' through the high street of a town where all the ghosts meet
Cradled by the sound of illegal car races and an empire of thoughts behind all the faces
Through yellowy eyes you can hear the pulse beating, you can choose to look away but it’s reality
Where the urban poets finally give up their dreams ‘cause rum and weed are cheaper than water and beans
Where the silence has the sound of crickets and frogs, Policе officers pass but they nevеr stop
They’re watchin' from outside ‘cause rats are coming like the blitz, you’ve got a thousand ears but no witnesses
If you follow the footprints behind the hills you will find secrets which silently rot
On the dusty playground a young blood boiling hot, an innocent wonders If he will do it or not
If you listen close enough you can hear champagne clinking on a yacht
While down here in the rum bars dominoes crack like gunshots
This is what (what) You can hear at the edge of the town
In the dancehall you can feel blood clots on the ground, the Selecta tries to ease the pain with the sound
When the teacher has given up is it worth dreamin’ ? In the dice cup the chances are already rolling
You’d better watch your back if you go for a stroll, in a minute things can get out of control
Barbed wire on mansions they never turn off the lights, in a sound system someone’s shouting at a distorted mic
If you listen close enough you can hear someone calling for a priest
While down here in the alley the junkie howls prophecies
