You speak a little of their language
Some words fly up some words fly down
Just enough so you can manage
Enough to bring the prices down
You come here to get brown
To walk through the town
You come here to get brown
To walk through the town
You come here to get brown

You see the children with their books
In ice blue jeans they walk around
You see how the old lady looks
From her doorway up and down
You come here to get brown
To walk through the town
You come here to get brown.
To walk through the town
You come here to get brown

You hear them when they say hello
You come here to shake your hair
You hear them when they say good bye
The words between get lost somewhere

You see them building up the new
You begrudge them the ground
You say it’s not for you
Or this paradise you’ve found
You come here to get brown
To walk through the town
You come here to get brown
To walk through the town
You speak a little of their language
Some words fly up some words fly down.
