In Chocolate Town all the trains are painted brown, and the silver paper of the wrapper.
C#m B E A B E
There's a dapper little man, and he wears a wax mustache
A B E A B E
That he twists with nicotine fingers as he drops his cigarette ash.
B E
And someone comes and sweeps it up, and then he doffs his cap

And there's a rat in someone's bedroom, and they're shutting someone's trap.
C#m B
And they'll soon be pulling down the little palaces.
C#m B E A B E
And the doors swing back and forward, from the past into the present
A B E A B E
And the bedside crucifixion turns from wood to phosphorescent.
B E
And they're moving problem families from the South up to the North,
B E
Mother's crying over some soft soap opera divorce,
A D B
And you say you didn't do it, but you know you did of course,

And you knock the kids about a bit, until they feel the same.
C#m B
And they feel like knocking down the little palaces.

You're the twinkle in your daddy's eye, a name you spray and scribble,
A B E A B E
You made the girls all turn their heads, and in turn they made you miserable.
C#m B E A B E
To be the heir apparent, to the kingdom of the invisible.
B E
So you knock the kids about a bit, because they've got your name,

C#m B
Oh they feel like knocking down the little palaces.
