Discount City from 20/40 by Discount City

I’ve always been here before
I’ve always known who was keeping score
And if I heard whispers through the wall
that you dropped a dime for me
I would just fall and fall and fall and fall

I got my heart a year ago at Discount City
A dusty hunk of long forgotten history
But in the light of humming white fluorescents
There’s a hint of something special
You can kind of see it’s kind of pretty

Now you’re not here anymore
I can’t recall what I kept you for
And if I passed you at the shopping mall
As you dropped a dime or three
I wouldn’t see your face at all at all at all at all

I got my heart a year ago at Discount City
A dusty hunk of long forgotten history
But in the light of humming white fluorescents
There’s a hint of something special
You can kind of see it’s kind of pretty

Past the alarm clock radio
Between the old discarded
Books about tending garden
Behind the messy pile of mismatched silverware

I wasn’t even searching
Like everything was working
But then I heard it beating slowly

I got my heart a year ago at Discount City
A dusty hunk of long forgotten history
But in the light of humming white fluorescents
There’s a hint of something special
You can kind of see it’s kind of pretty
