From a Soon-to-Be Ghost Town

It's hard to be the last one

In a soon-to-be ghost town

When all that you loved is now gone

And you could've left with the first big wave

But you remember back to when you first came

And how you didn't wanna leave

'Cause you remembered it when

When you said you'd never leave

'Cause you loved it then

It's a hard to be queer one in

A place with no queer ones

At least none who'll admit that they were

And you're sharp and coulda split

But you stayed because

At the very least you knew who you was

And you didn't wanna leave

'Cause you liked the air

And you still don't wanna leave

'Cause you like it there

Y'know it's hard to be the last one

In a soon-to-be ghost town

When all that you've loved is now gone

And you could've moved on to anywhere

But you remembered back to

Your first day there on the fire escape

Smoking cigarettes with a fresh fat lip

And a new best bet

And how you didn't wanna leave

'Cause you liked the air

And you said you'd never leave

'Cause you liked it there

And you still don't wanna leave

'Cause you loved it then
