[Verse 1]

Two people under bedsheets

One unrelenting heartbeat

One unrequited belief

Two fools in a one-horse town

Two people under bedsheets

One wallowing in defeat

One crumbling under heat

Two fools in a one-horse town

Mmm

[Verse 2]

Two people under bedsheets

One liar in the hot seat

Why cry over a deadbeat?

Two fools in a one-horse town

Two people under bedsheets

One shivering with cold feet

One suffocating lover

One fool in a wedding gown

Mmm

[Chorus]

Outside, the world is turning

A different life, you're yearning

But you just sit there, burning

Lying in his fire

And all the while, you're learning

Hope, you're yearning

You just sit there, burning

Lying in his fire

[Verse 3]

Two people under bedsheets

Two fists to play around with

One has to keep her mouth shut

Victims of a one-horse town

Two people under bedsheets

One does whatever he pleases

And one tries to speak to Jesus

But Jesus won't hear a sound

Mmm

[Chorus]

Outside, the world is turning

A different life, you're yearning

But you just sit there, burning

Lying in his fire

And all the while, you're learning

Hope you're learning

That you just sit there burning

Lying in his fire

[Outro]

Two people under bedsheets

Two children raising children

The same mistakes keep building

It's a mess of a one-horse town

It's a mess of a one-horse town

It's a mess of a one-horse town

It's a mess of a one-horse town

It's a mess of a one-horse town
